Plug-n-Play Adapters

Plug-n-Play (PnP) Adapters are special products from First Futures Software which provide a ready-to-use connectivity with major exchanges and brokers to the users of Endeavone EMS and FF.Trader applications.

Endeavone EMS and FF.Trader applications use Adapters for their Direct Market Access capabilities. Users of these applications can develop their own Adapters using the APIs available with these applications or use well-tested, fast and efficient PnP Adapters for their intended counterparties.

PnP Adapters offer connectivity with FIX as well as non-FIX compliant Sell-side parties. They manage order routing and implement the Sell-side specifications for conducting trading sessions. PnP Adapters interface with Endeavone EMS or FF.Trader in the FIX Protocol based messaging format. On the counterparty side, they interface in the counterparty's specific format.

At present, we offer PnP Adapters for Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), Eurex and Interactive Brokers (IB).These Adapters offer connectivity and all major trading functionalities, relevant to their respective exchanges/broker organizations. An implementation of additional requirements is possible on customer requests. PnP Adapters for other Sell-side parties are also available on customer requests.
