Exchange Tools
Analysis Tools for Deutsche Börse AG markets
New architectures, successively introduced by exchanges, create huge technological challenges for their members, while simultaneously opening up interesting new chances. Deutsche Börse AG delivers with the introduction of the T7 trading system no longer any software for the market’s API access, but offers simply a number of APIs for reference data, market data and transactions instead. With our Exchange Tools, these APIs can be accessed for test and analysis purposes. Technical and functional aspects of the interfaces become combined. Live recording of data is feasible as well as retrospective analysis of redorded data streams. Workflows can be simulated with the transaction interfaces including automated performance tests with mass generated orders and cancellations.
