About Chi-X

Chi-X core technology

The Chi-X Core Matching Engine is a proprietary system that resides on the Linux operating system. It runs from our primary data centre, with real-time fail-over functionality at our secondary data centre.

 

The Chi-X core is comprised of three primary applications: the Matching Engine, FIX, market data connectivity and a number of secondary applications. Our technology provides reliable and fast trade execution.

 

We provide:

  • A low cost, open access technology model with standard connectivity
  • Re-engineered 4th generation trading system with high speed wire level FIX connectivity into the core system
  • Platform independence, with IP based connections eradicating the need for any Chi-X specific hardware being deployed on Trading Participants' sites.
