Electronic Order Entry
Customers choose from the list of cutting-edge trading platforms that we offer, each of which is tailored for specific trading styles and requirements. Electronic orders are routed with speed and accuracy, and fills are often reported within seconds. An order placed on one of ADMIS’s trading platforms routes directly from the user’s computer to the trading floor or an electronic trading platform, such as GLOBEX, e-CBOT or ICE. Using one of ADMIS’s trading platforms offers many other benefits, including 24-hour trading access, depth of market, real time quotes, charting capabilities and marked-to-the-market account information. Customers can view their working, open, and filled orders, as well as open positions.
