The new terminal, FastTrade, is equipped with features like suspended scrip list, no-delivery scrip list, position conversion from delivery-to-margin and vice-versa, and also reports.

The company says FastTrade consumes the least bandwidth and can also be deployed across media such as VASAT, MPLS, broadband, WAN and LAN, among others.

"FastTrade provides an integrated market watch and with its features such as dashboard, reports and risk and surveillance, said Sunil Godhwani, director, Fortis Financial Services Ltd, at the launch of the new dealer terminal. "It is cut out to be an asset to assist the dealers to manage their trade."
