Turquoise, a broker-backed pan-European multilateral trading facility (MTF), has announced a series of upgrades to improve response times and capacity on its platform.
From 4 February to 6 March, the MTF will deploy a new version of its matching engine and modify its infrastructure architecture between its data centres. Turquoise claims the upgrades will improve its maximum achievable throughput by 150% and reduce end-to-end response time latency to below one millisecond, down from its current average of between 1.8 and 2 milliseconds.
“While transparent to our members and requiring no client-side integration, we expect this imminent programme of improvements to establish us as the benchmark in Europe for technical performance,” read a statement on the Turquoise website.
By comparison, rival MTF Chi-X Europe has an average roundtrip latency of under 2 milliseconds, while BATS Europe claims its average roundtrip latency to be 0.444 milliseconds, on par with its US exchange.
