Hydrogen & Helium Trading Systems

Mach2 Software offers trading products that are quick, simple and low-cost. Trading software needs to be fast and easy to use - an absolute requirement when adapting to ever-changing markets. Therefore, all our solutions share the same characteristics: compact, efficient, easy-to-use, high performance and cost effective.

For high frequency black box trading, we offer the Hydrogen Trading System, a platform for low latency trading of equities, futures, foreign exchange and US Treasuries. Written entirely in C++ for maximum speed, Hydrogen is specifically designed for market-making, statistical arbitrage, spread trading and many other HFT applications. Hydrogen is a lightweight, compact and efficient solution, ideally suited for co-located deployment at exchanges and ECNs.

For algorithmic trading, we offer the Helium Trading System, a FIX connectivity add-in for Microsoft Excel. With Helium, the capabilities of Excel can now be used as an excellent "gray box" (i.e., semi-automated) solution, for connectivity to a broker’s DMA gateway or directly to an exchange/ECN. Helium empowers traders and quants to implement simple, efficient trading systems and to rapidly prototype algorithms and pricing models, without the need for Java or C++ software expertise. Leverage the pervasive power of Excel to build trading solutions that are easy to develop, easy to use and easy to maintain.
