Mercurius offers a trading platform as a service enabling our clients to automate their trading rules of any complexity and executing them around the clock and across the globe. Our target audience consists of quantitative trading firms, proprietary trading groups, hedge funds and institutional trading desks of any size and day traders that intend to automate their daily activities.
Mission
Although the advance of technology in financial markets opens unprecedented opportunities, it also introduces challenges for participants. Mercurius' mission is to fully unburden clients allowing them to focus on their core business (again). We believe the client's trading platform of choice should make a trader's life easier and automate any daily task where possible.
Philosophy
To excel in their core business, clients need not bother about the required technology. Instead technology should enable them to implement their business without restrictions. Technology should not be a point of concern, it should be available when needed. Technology should not limit business, it should enable an accelerated business development. In short, technology should be an enabler instead of a resource drain.
Partnerships
Mercurius selects the best available solutions in the marketplace and forms partnerships with its suppliers to offer cutting-edge solutions to clients. Building such partnerships also enables expedited onboarding and a second to none time-to-market for our clients.
