Hong Kong, 03 July 2023:  ION, a global provider of trading, analytics, treasury, and risk management solutions for capital markets, commodities, and treasury management, announces that Brain3 by LIST, an ION company, has won best algo trading solution at WatersTechnology Asia Awards 2023.

The annual WatersTechnology Asia Awards, presented this year on 30 June, recognize excellence in deploying and managing financial information and technology within Asia’s capital market community and worldwide. WatersTechnology readers – comprising industry professionals and experts, investment banks, asset management firms, hedge funds, brokerages, and exchanges – vote to determine the winners.

LIST’s Brain3 is an open environment for developing low latency, automated algorithms at the enterprise level. Uniquely, Brain3 allows the fast deployment of customized user interfaces, totally integrated with LIST’s FastTrade UI. Through this, it includes a suite of testing tools for predicting the behavior of algorithms in a production-like environment (simulating transactions against real-time or played-back market data) – which fulfills MiFID II testing requirements. Recently, Brain3 has added new features to support best execution algorithms in the fixed income sector, including the ability to automate buy-side RFQ workflows used by D2C trading venues.

LIST is a leading financial technology provider to the global trading community, including trading venues, market makers, brokers, asset managers, risk managers, and compliance officers. “We are thrilled to build on our success last year and again win a prestigious award at WatersTechnology Asia Awards,” said Mirko Marcadella, LIST’s Chief Product and Marketing Officer.
