Some of our other achievements include:
Project Delivery
Lucsan Capital (LC) successfully project managed strategic trading solutions for a large global player to offer electronic derivative trading capabilities to their extensive network of derivatives advisors. These systems were initially designed from a whiteboard idea and successfully tailored-made to trade futures and options for their clients. A solution was designed and later effectively built incorporating full straight through processing (STP). Strong exchange compliance rules, robust stress-test and risk controls, compliance and surveillance regulations issues and real time reporting were fully addressed as part of the final solution.
Current State Review
LC was engaged by an Australian bank to undertake a Trade Set Review prior to migration to a new platform. This involved a complete review of their existing trading platform encompassing trade and static population, initial data integrity review, and associated recommendations. The completion of this work was a key input into the planning for a subsequent system replacement program.
System Implementation
LC assisted with the successful implementation of the global system provider Orc Software, by establishing and integrating this professional trading platform for one of Australia's leading financial institutions. Our client engaged LC consultants across a range of complex project functions including project strategy, core system configuration and implementation responsibility as well as system connectivity and final certification.
Electronic Trading
LC has engineered and developed a number of interfaces for various clients using OI libraries. Some of this development has involved the building of GUI based application to interact with real-time professional trading systems such as Orc Software, IRESS and NasdaqOMX. These utilities have assisted our clients with ability to monitor market states as well as other infrastructure-based processes. On the functional side, bespoke applications allow clients with downloading defined trading instruments, prices and volatility curves. It also allows for manual or automated manipulation of volatility curve attributes within an application, instrument re-reference, sending manipulated values back into trading systems, interface with client third party risk applications / databases as well as full logging and audit trail of events.
LC has assisted domestic and global brokers with large replacement projects in relation to systems supporting cash and derivative market transactions. These changes resulted from the substantial ASX migration of the ASX SEATS trading engine to the NasdaqOMX (ITS-Click) trading platform. Similarly, LC has assisted many market participants with replacing and establishing clearing and settlements derivative systems.
Data Migration
LC assisted an overseas bank to migrate it's legacy Australia entity business on to their core Treasury platform (Quantum). The project involved the migration of a variety of asset classes from the legacy Midas trading platform. The project also encompassed the multi-entity enablement of the Quantum system across Front Office, Market & Credit Risk, Operations, Finance and IT.
