Perspectives11

1. Completely implementation of post-trade controls and decrease order processing time to 1-3 msec.

2. A single cash account for options trading on FORTS, including the decommissioning of the RTS risk management system .

3. The implementation of our own global risk-management system to perform arbitrage operation on Russian and foreign financial markets (MICEX – FORTS – Standard – LSE – CME)
