Titan Partners with Penson to Provide Social Media Trading Signals to Retail and Institutional Brokers
Edmonton, Alberta (April 11, 2011) -- Titan Trading Analytics Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TTA) (OTCBB: TITAF), today announced that it has entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with Penson Financial Services, Inc. (PFSI), the US securities clearing unit of Penson Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: PNSN) to offer Titan’s trade recommendations to PFSI’s retail and institutional correspondent brokerage firms.
TickAnalyst’s proprietary algorithms analyze historical equities tick data, combined with social media sentiment, to generate buy/sell recommendations. Recommendations can be streamed via PFSI’s API or Titan’s browser application. Orders can be electronically executed through PFSI’s FIX Gateway.
“This is the first time retail brokers will be able to provide customers with quantitative trading signals that incorporate social media sentiment,” said Sean Malloy, Senior Vice President & Director of Global Sales & Marketing, Penson Worldwide. “It also is the first time independent institutional brokers will be able to provide clients with a signal service at a far more economical price than buying it from bulge bracket brokers or purchasing one directly. We believe it will be particularly appealing to our active retail and high volume institutional brokers.”
“Titan is democratizing quantitative research for any type of trader or investor”, stated John Coulter, Titan’s CEO. “We are breaking down a huge barrier to entry by hosting hard to obtain research and technology which to date, only elite brokers and hedge funds have leveraged to their advantage. As the amount of data continues to grow into the billions of data points a day, alpha generation becomes more and more challenging for the average trader. Titan does all the heavy lifting and streams out research content which is tradable in any existing EMS or OMS. It’s also useful as a confirmation tool for traders with their own strategies.”
