royalblue, provider of Fidessa, released Workstation 3.0, the latest version of its market data and execution management platform, which offers front-end functionality including a charting package to support users within sell and buy-side institutions.
Launched in 2003, Fidessa’s Workstation provides data for European and North American markets and offers advanced trading and execution capabilities. This latest version builds upon that information displays and now offers charting capabilities which range from Bollinger Bands to Stochastics, MACD, Candlesticks and Bar Charts. AFX news now appears in newspaper-style displays highlighting the top stories of the day and with richer and easier to read content. The greater flexibility available allows users to customise the application to their own preferences – such as choose the screen’s background color – and the service now includes context-specific help pages.
Simon Barnby, head of Fidessa Workstation strategy comments: “Operating in highly competitive trading environments, users have to absorb and analyze information and make decisions in split seconds. With the latest Fidessa Workstation release we are taking the platform’s existing functionality a step further to provide users with the tools they need to make faster and more informed decisions.”
Barnby adds, “We are proud that Fidessa Workstation is the product of choice for trading professionals. We listen to the users and constantly develop our platform in response to their needs. With this release we have perfected the data manipulation element to satisfy the most demanding of users.”
