Horizon Market Maker by Horizon Trading Solutions is a robust, enterprise-grade platform built specifically for principal trading and market making across a wide spectrum of instruments, including equities, futures, options, warrants, ETFs, delta-one products, barrier products like CBBCs and Turbos, leveraged vehicles, and digital assets. The interface emphasizes clarity for fast decision-making: hierarchical portfolio views let users drill from underlying to expiry to instrument, with key indicators—net quantity, P&L, delta, and gamma—upfront, and parameterized controls for obligations, pricing, and hedging logically grouped so traders can act without hunting through menus. Navigation favors workflow efficiency, with RFQ tools and continuous quoting features accessible alongside real-time valuation, and model selection surfaced via Horizon’s built-in pricing and volatility engines or integrated third-party/internal engines through Horizon Extend. Functionally, it stands out with comprehensive market-maker obligation enforcement, real-time position management, and advanced hedging logic—delta thresholds, proxies, Scenario Orders, and Execution Algos—plus the ability to develop custom strategies via Extend.
