Portware Enterprise is specifically designed to facilitate algorithmic trading. The system can handle any number of trading strategies, including automated market making, hedging, crossing and full order book management. Algorithms in Portware are event driven and can be designed to automate trading with custom constraints. With Portware, users always have the option to intervene manually to adjust strategy parameters as market conditions change, providing them with complete control over their trading environment.

Algorithms can be accessed through Portware Enterprise in a variety of ways:

PRE-PACKAGED STRATEGIES Portware Enterprise is delivered with a suite of pre-packaged algorithms, which can be used in conjunction with Portware Enterprise or Strategy Server. Built-in algorithms include VWAP, InLine, Pairs, Long/Short and others.

THIRD-PARTY STRATEGIES Portware Enterprise users can access any third-party destination algorithms and strategies (broker/dealers, ECNs, direct access providers, etc.) directly through the interface. Access to a complete set of third-party algorithms is embedded within the system, allowing users to access a full array of destinations from a single screen. Proprietary strategies from some of the world's largest and most innovative firms are accessible via Portware Enterprise, including Bank of America, Credit Suisse First Boston, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and more.

CREATE YOUR OWN Portware Enterprise's customization features allow users to easily develop complex algorithmic trading strategies and quickly put them to work in the market. Once implemented, these strategies can be adjusted, as needed, in real-time.
