With this update, ConvergEx said that RealTick now provides its broker-dealer and institutional clients with enhanced price discovery and access to liquidity from one of the hottest international markets. The firm added that RealTick clients will also now be able to trade Brazilian derivatives and equities either locally or through the unit's network of global broker-dealers.
