Connectivity to Lime’s low-latency infrastructure will provide high frequency and other latency-sensitive traders with high-performance access to the US equities, options and futures markets.

Clients of both Orc and Lime will be able to take advantage of Lime’s infrastructure, built for high-frequency traders, and connect to numerous markets with one interface.

As part of the roll out, Orc will also be integrating Lime’s ultra-low latency Citrius market data into its trading platform.

The Orc Trading solutions are used by leading financial firms worldwide for market making, volatility trading and high frequency trading.

Together with access to the major cash and derivatives markets and a network of brokers, this is truly an unmatched offering. Orc Trading is available both as deployed software and as a managed service.

Traders will be able to use Orc’s connection to Lime Brokerage for deploying sophisticated trading strategies including spread trading, market making, volatility trading, and other advanced arbitrages.

Lime Brokerage director of operations John Jacobs said Orc is a great fit for Lime Brokerage. They have an automated trading platform that meets the needs of sophisticated traders.

"With their connection to our high-performance infrastructure, we look forward to offering a powerful platform for demanding, high-frequency traders," Jacobs said.
