Subscribe to our newsletter

Horizon Trading Solutions has launched Horizon FixConnect, a new connectivity tool developed to accelerate the onboarding of clients and brokers. Built on the high-performance Aeron data infrastructure, the solution enables users to configure FIX connections via a self-service interface within the Horizon Trader Workspace. This integration removes traditional dependencies on IT and operations teams, allowing for more agile management of trading infrastructure.

The platform significantly reduces onboarding timelines from several days to near real-time deployment, according to the company. By eliminating the requirement for system restarts during configuration, FixConnect reduces operational overhead and allows trading desks to adapt instantly to market opportunities. This ensures that institutional and retail brokers can maintain stability while responding to evolving trading requirements.

FixConnect supports 24/7 operations by allowing connectivity adjustments without service disruption. The launch reinforces Horizon’s modular platform strategy, providing a unified environment where clients can manage connectivity, execution, and algorithmic trading seamlessly.
