Having access to the same data as used by the front office enables back office personnel to verify trade prices and to check the accuracy of some of the analysis carried out by the traders.

Horizon is the product name of a suite of software products designed and built by Derivative Trading Systems (“DTS”), to provide state of the art analytics and financial market data to customers that work in the treasury and compliance areas of financial institutions including banks, hedge funds, insurance companies, institutional investors and corporate organizations.

The range of relevant Horizon products include the following:
Open Horizon
Horizon COM

Horizon is not a replacement for other real-time data applications but has traditionally been used to complement those other applications.

Some of the main reasons that Open Horizon and Horizon COM have been chosen by our Software Development users are as follows:

• Horizon has one of the most extensive and accurate historical market rate databases. To see an up-to-date list of our historical data follow this link.

• One of the most powerful aspects of the Horizon suite of products is the highly powerful and flexible Graph Definition Dialogue (“GDD”). The GDD gives the user the ability to easily create simple data expressions all the way up to the most complicated data analysis expressions. All without the need to write complex computer code.

• The quality of the data is highly regarded by our customers who tend to be very loyal to our Horizon application even though they may have other real-time data applications that also provide some of the data they need to access. When you are analysing data there is no substitute for quality information.
