Before you get started

A few useful
answers.

Do I need to install software?

The AQUAS Blue web platform is accessed in a supported browser. Confirm your browser version, operating system, device requirements, and any optional application access with AQUAS during setup.

What determines the features I can use?

Your firm configuration, user entitlements, account approval, market data subscriptions, and executing and clearing arrangements determine available features and services.

Can I use my existing broker or clearing connections?

For firms discussing a technology deployment, we are willing to work with any broker, clearing firm, or prime broker. Available connections must be agreed and tested. Ask AQUAS about the specific integration you need. AQUAS brokerage services follow the firm's own approved arrangements and agreements.

Can I evaluate the platform before making a decision?

Request a demonstration so the team can walk through relevant workflows and discuss availability, pricing, and requirements. Demonstration screens and any simulation are illustrative and are not actual customer results.

Trading and technology risk

Outages, delays, data errors, and interruptions can affect order submission, modifications, cancellations, execution, and the accuracy or timeliness of displayed information. Orders can be rejected, partially filled, or executed at prices different from those expected. Software tools and risk controls do not eliminate these risks.

See AQUAS's Risk Disclosure, Electronic Trading Risk Disclosure, Technology Risk Disclosure, and Business Continuity Statement. Use the firm's approved order and support channels; general website messages and email are not order-entry channels.

Options risk
