4OMS - The execution robot

Robot that assists the trading desk: 4OMS

4OMS is our highly capable order management component.

It is specialized in the order management and execution
It can execute the orders based on the execution algorithm client would decide on
Yes we are specialized in integrations in the Turkish trading eco-system, but 4OMS can be considered for any market across the globe
It is back-end neutral. i.e. it can be integrated to most b/end platforms available in Turkey. (Optimus, Tradesoft, Genex etc.)

4OMS has two major parts:

First part of 4OMS, the OMS, is basically responsible for the "parent order". This part basically listens to the market, and slices the parent order down to the child orders depending on the execution algorithm selected and configured by the user

Second part of 4OMS, the EMS, is responsible for the "child orders". This part basically executes the chunks of the parent orders that OMS module create via communicating with the broker through a designated protocol (e.g. FIX) and/or mid-server (e.g. EMSX of Bloomberg or TradeServer of Foreks/Turkey).

We provide the following execution algorithms to the client out of the box:

TGRT: Target. Client enters a limit price only, and 4OMS executes this order, as a SL or TP, once the market price touches to this level.
VWAP: Volume Weighted Average Price. Pre-trade schedule based on historical volumes. Certain parameters are set by the user.
TWAP: Time Weighted Average Price. Executes desired quantity at a constant rate over time. Certain parameters are set by the user.
PERV: Percentage Of Volume. Targets a user-defined participation rate while the speed of the flow of orders in the market fluctuates
ISOF: Implementation Shortfall. Not provided out of the box.
PAIR: Used for pair trades where the trader goes long on one stock and goes short on the other and meanwhile the trader makes sure that the net exposure of the total of the two sides remain around 0 at the time of the execution.

With 4OMS, we as Verizekalı aim at catering for both the sell-side and the buy-side spectrum of the finance industry.

It is a .NET application
The all-round response time for one order is in the range of [60 ms, 140 ms] with an average of 80 ms
It has two integrated part inside. the OMS part (that applies the smart partitioning of the order), and the EMS part (that manages and executes the order chunks OMS releases over the trading period)
It can be integrated to any back/end here in Turkey
It can be integrated to other back-testing platforms such as WealthLab, NeuroShell, MT4, NinjaTrader, Bloomberg, and alike

What challenges do we address

We are well aware of the challenges our client deal with while they do their best in the field.

Scalability: With the help of 4OMS, our clients can "work" infinite number of tickets within the day with the help of our 4OMS. One human can handle only a limited number of tickets in a day, but our software can handle many
Alternative execution strategies: Some orders require this type of execution strategy while the others require that. 4OMS can offer our clients all options they might need while meeting their clients' expectations
Flawless execution: Human traders can miss certain execution moments, machines don't
Efficient execution: 4OMS will help a lot to the clients minimize the market impact (of particularly the large orders)
Cost Efficient: The license fee of 4OMS should be a fraction of the cost of a human trader dedicated to work the orders
Leaner organizations, and processes
Broker Neutral: 4OMS, once considered by the buy-side, can be used as one centralized order router that routes different orders to the different brokers
