Bruce ATS™: A New Era in Overnight Trading

PEAK6 Investments has officially unveiled plans for the eagerly awaited launch of Bruce ATS, an Alternative Trading System (ATS) designed to redefine the overnight trading experience. The system, being developed by Bruce Markets LLC, promises to provide investors with reliable access to U.S. markets outside regular trading hours, pending regulatory approval. Utilizing Nasdaq's state-of-the-art technology, Bruce ATS aims to ensure an efficient, robust, and equitable trading environment for all users.

The concept for Bruce ATS arose from a collaboration with seasoned industry professionals and valuable insights collected from early market participants who highlighted the necessity for improved overnight trading solutions. The founding team comprises leading experts from the trading sector, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience, ensuring that the platform leverages advanced technology for an upgraded trading experience.

Game-Changing Features

According to Bill Capuzzi, PEAK6 Partner and CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions, the launch of Bruce ATS is nothing short of groundbreaking. Capuzzi asserts that the platform not only meets the current demands of investors but also sets a new benchmark for future market expectations. The system will allow trading to take place from Sunday to Thursday, spanning from 8 PM to 4 AM EST, with potential plans for expanded hours in the future.

1. Robust Trading Platform: Built on a dependable and trusted framework.
2. Streamlined Access: Utilizing industry-standard APIs for seamless order management and market data access.
3. Expertise in Corporate Actions: Designed to minimize trade failures and cancellations, enhancing the overall trading experience.

Magnus Haglind, Senior Vice President of Marketplace Technology at Nasdaq, emphasized the growing global interest in extended trading hours and expressed excitement over supporting Bruce ATS in establishing a significant overnight trading market. The technology currently used for 24/7 trading of digital assets will now extend across various financial products.

Meeting Global Investors' Demands

Bruce ATS is not merely extending trading time but also broadening opportunities for investors around the globe:

• - It will offer morning trading access to U.S. markets for regions like Mumbai, Beijing, and Seoul.
• - The platform is particularly appealing to new investors, tapping into the rising demand for non-traditional trading hours.
• - It aligns the expectations of crypto traders, who are accustomed to 24/7 operations, as they venture into traditional stock investments.

Connor Coughlin, Chief Commercial Officer at Apex Fintech Solutions, expressed that Bruce ATS's seamless integration with their platform promises a powerful and user-friendly trading experience. Apex clients will enjoy immediate access to this innovative trading system upon its launch, which fosters the company's ongoing commitment to delivering advanced solutions that enhance trading flexibility and accessibility.

Once regulatory approvals are secured, Bruce ATS is poised to set a strong precedent in after-hours trading, fortified by the extensive industry expertise available in brokerage, clearing, corporate actions, and compliance—all supported by stable, reputable organizations capable of managing substantial trading volumes.
