Synopsis

MarketFactory allows Customers to request the creation of Whisperer API users as described under the 'Whisperer Users' heading. Further, these users can be restricted or enabled in their abilities to access different connections for the trading venues through the use of Feeds filters. In terms of definitions, the term trading venue connection is synonymous to Feed. The Feed filter exists as a statically defined enumeration within the Whisperer configuration and can allow for the following configuration examples:

• Users can be grouped together within a filter and provided with access to a collection of shared connections.
• A filter can be created to permit a user access to only feeds/connections with Banks, ECN's or a combination of these liquidity providers or any other distinguishing feature a customer wishes to divide or group feeds/connections with.
• Feeds filters can also enable the monitoring of prescribed users, a feature that is explored further in the user heading within this section.
