LiquidityConnect™ is a highly configurable trading-connectivity platform with comprehensive connectors to various liquidity sources. LiquidityConnect enables users to seamlessly connect to multiple sources that can have different formats and network protocols. LiquidityConnect can be used with either the smartTrade Liquidity Management System or with any other application that an organization may have. LiquidityConnect 's core engine has been written using a wide range of Enterprise Integration Patterns and has been coupled with the flexibility of the Spring framework. New connectors are deployed as self-describing plug-ins independent from the others so that it natively supports FIX, FIX / FAST and bespoke protocols. LiquidityConnect is an out-of-the-box packaged comprehensive connectivity solution.

• LiquidityConnect can be used for connectivity in any asset class.
• LiquidityConnect supports FIX/FAST protocol so that clients can have a quick time-to-market connectivity.
• LiquidityConnect provides Java, .NET and C++ API's.

LiquidityConnect™, one of the five pillars of the smartTrade LMS, can run as a standalone application or be used in coordination with LiquidityCrosser™, LiquidityOrchestrator™, LiquidityAggregator™ and LiquidityDistributor™ as a complete Liquidity Management System (LMS) to create an infinite combination of aggregation, crossing,smart order routing and distribution matrices that enables the execution process to be closely ingrained with the flow rather than reactionary to events.

"smartTrade Technologies has seen real spikes in e-trading volume in recent months on a number of platforms. Robust scalability is a big issue, which is why clients are offered dynamic load balancing across virtualized servers to be able to focus resources where they are needed."
