Stay on track: The future of EBS is underway

In response to the changing needs of our customers, we are redesigning our systems and simplifying how clients connect, for optimal access to liquidity.

Everything you need to know in detail


Technology

EBS Workstation: New features this quarter

This quarter, more users have migrated to the new Workstation – ready to take advantage of the new features and functionality available, coupled with the confidence that the core features they valued before, are still there – it’s just better.

Trust: Dynamic Trade Summary (DTS)

As a complex, valuable and popular piece of functionality – we have simply rebuilt it to include all the functionality previously used by traders. We’ve just done it better!

Have certainty - DTS will still dynamically calculate your position and P&L across all your trades in multiple instruments.  

Use: Your configurable keypad

Central to EBS is the keypad, how it is configured, how it operates and how it feels – which is why we’ve kept it exactly the same – we’ve just built it better!

Yet, we also know that not every trader is the same. Now, you can decide if you want to assign smart keys to your cards for faster and more flexible navigation. You can configure up to six keys to quickly jump and cycle through your most frequently used Trading and Information Cards.

Know: Screen lock

Rest assured, when your screen is locked, you can’t accidentally execute but your orders are still active.

Have confidence, know that your keypad is inactive when you want it to be.
