About TickIt Trading Systems LLC

TickIt Trading Systems was founded in 2009, evolving out of a successful proprietary trading firm's quest to maximize the potential of automated trading.

However, development of the TickIt trading system actually began in 2005 when the firm recognized the growing disparity between the tools and resources employed by big trading firms and those available to smaller firms and individuals. With the lack of any real ability to bridge that gap by existing technology providers, the firm began development of a proprietary trading system for its own use.

After four and a half years of development and testing, the result is a next-generation trading system that features an appealing easy-to-use front-end and true server-side automated trading execution. And to make creating even the most complex strategies fast and easy, we designed highly intuitive interfaces in the drag-and-drop strategy creation canvas in TickIt, as well as the "circuit design"-like building block programming platform in TickIt Plus. As a result, TickIt gave all traders access to the same tools and execution speed as the world's biggest trading firms.

In June 2010, TickIt was acquired by Trading Technologies International, Inc. (TT). TT is working to integrate TickIt's software into its X_TRADER® trading platform. X_TRADER is among the most widely used futures trading platforms and dovetails well with TickIt’s technology. Watch this website over the coming months for more details regarding this integration.
