The Beeks Analytics for Markets template is designed to capture data and provide analytics to identify common performance issues at the edge of your network or with trading venues or counterparties. You can enable alerts when performance thresholds are breached, and enable monitoring to ensure a fast, reliable trading environment.

Use cases

  • Do I have performance problems with any of my trading counterparties?

  • Is the problem inside my infrastructure or outside my infrastructure?

  • I need an overview of the flows going across my network to assist with troubleshooting and capacity.

  • Are my market data connections of high enough quality? Are there any latency or performance problems with them?

  • Are the applications that I rely on for trading adequately tuned for the best possible performance? Can I measure that performance regardless of whether they are running on my systems or at one of my trading counterparties or venues?

Key Features

  • Quick-to-configure templated deployment of Beeks Analytics system.

  • Focuses on monitoring network communication at the edge and performance of trading venues that you connect to.

  • Supports monitoring of multiple Visibility Points.

  • Monitors all network traffic with dedicated dashboards for TCP, UDP, Market Data, and Order Entry. These dashboards provide visibility of:

    • Bandwidth

    • Packet loss

    • Multiple granularities of microburst measurement

    • Wiretime

    • Feed comparison

  • Tracks and alerts on discrepancies between claimed and actual PTP-synchronised message receipt times.

  • Identify outliers and drill into order lifecycle and individual transaction details to resolve performance issues.

  • Detailed Analysis

    • Decodes trading protocols and normalises messages for consistent storage, enabling comparative performance reviews.

  • Performance Alerts

    • Allows for setting performance thresholds and alerts to ensure a fast, reliable trading environment.

  • High-Quality Data Assurance

    • Ensures incoming market data quality, quantifies bandwidth usage, and helps with future growth planning by analysing market data burstiness and volume trends.
