Introducing Three QuantDeveloper Editions
We are happy to announce three editions of QuantDeveloper - Research, Professional and Enterprise.
QuantDeveloper is a product of institutional quality and complexity. We had many concerns and discussions whether we should make our products available to retail developers and traders or we should solely focus on serving hedge funds and institutional trading groups (our main customer segment so far) instead.
There are two strong arguments supporting our retail offerings.
- technology and connectivity change the world. These days private investors can set up trading infrastructure that can compete with trading floors of hedge funds and institutions. F.ex. our customers can directly connect to leading futures exchanges all over the world using Trading Technologies gateways and FIX. It's also possible to deploy canned QuantDeveloper ATS at dedicated servers hosted by TT or VF to stay less than milliseconds away from CME, CBOT or EUREX. Our products are perfect choice for those individuals who want "to trade like a hedge fund".
- we would like to educate our customers and also learn from our customers. We believe that novice quants, programmers, analysts and strategy developers who learn financial programming using our products today will get top job positions at leading trading shops tomorrow, bringing their experience and our products with them.
These are two main reasons behind our new pricing scheme. There is a clear upgrade path from research to professional and then enterprise edition. Basic research edition is an affordable solution for those who want to learn finance, trading, financial programming and also test their own trading ideas. Once you are confident that your ideas are profitable, you can upgrade to professional edition and start autotrading your strategies. Enterprise edition allows you to compile and run your own stand alone trading applications and canned automated trading strategies using MSVS.NET
