EXPO's unique versatility enables users with vastly different skills and needs to employ it productively. Traders, for example, use EXPO to monitor markets and perform standard analyses while financial engineers develop extensive custom analyses. EXPO is useful, as well, to IT and applications specialists, who can translate end-user needs into a customized EXPO solution by manipulating menus, macros, and functions.

Since EXPO can be deployed in so many areas of the financial industry, LMT's training equips users with the situation-specific skills they require. Leading Market Technologies provides customized training sessions which encompass many of the most popular training topics to meet individual client needs.

TickBase Training

Market feeds provide traders with enormous volumes of real-time information, yet existing databases simply are not fast enough to capture and store the avalanche of tick data, leaving most firms unable to fully utilize the tick data they pay for. TickBase provides super-high-speed, real-time capture, storage, and retrieval of market data from external feeds and clients' proprietary sources for use in market analysis. The TickBase server captures market data as it comes down the wire, stores the data, and then makes it available for immediate or subsequent analysis.

Due to the unique nature of this real-time database server, there are many features and functions that can be explored through the TickBase training and certification program. Training courses range from an introductory session to advanced training in conjunction with EXPO. TickBase training can be customized to meet whatever criteria is needed.
