Advantage Futures Deploys Eventus’ Validus Platform for Trade Surveillance

Eventus, a leading global provider of multi-asset class trade surveillance, market risk and algo monitoring solutions, announced today that Advantage Futures has deployed the firm’s Validus platform to meet its trade surveillance needs. Advantage is among the highest volume clearing firms in the futures industry.

Advantage made the decision to migrate to the Eventus software solution following extensive research on companies in the space and testing of the Validus platform to ensure the features met its needs.

Joseph Guinan, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Advantage Futures, said: “I’ve had great respect for Eventus CEO Travis Schwab for more than 15 years. The company has thrived under his leadership, and its Validus trade surveillance platform is now an important component of the Advantage surveillance program.”

Guinan said the firm chose Validus for its strong machine learning capabilities, customizable features that allow users to change parameters from one exchange to another, ease of use and knowledgeable, responsive team.

The Validus platform is used widely throughout the futures industry and other asset classes. The software solution and expertise within the firm have earned the company more than 30 global and regional awards in the past five years.

Validus’ use of automation, including machine learning, speeds up alert triage and ensures the most actionable alerts are escalated for further investigation. The platform handles alert generation covering billions of messages per day, around the clock, providing comprehensive coverage across trading flows. Validus is uniquely able to ingest data in any format from any source, streamlining the ability to onboard without tying up the clients’ resources.
