The move help the facility extend premier one-stop access to liquidity with the highest levels of resilience and the lowest possible latency through continuous technological upgrades and new offerings.
A new Binary Order Entry protocol will be launched from the LD4 campus on November 4 by Bats Europe. Traders will be able to access the full suite of its order types using Binary Order Entry as well as the standard FIX protocol format.
