In particular, we are pleased that Pragma’s Polaris platform will be available to our Floor Broker community.”

David Polen, Head of Software Product at Pragma said: “We believe that execution quality is critical, quantifiable and hard, and that Polaris will empower the Floor Brokers to provide better service to their clients. Pragma is excited to work with the NYSE to provide advanced workflow tools and algorithms to the Floor Broker community, helping them grow their business over the next decade.”

David Mechner, CEO of Pragma said: “Pragma specializes in providing enterprise trading technology to meet unique and challenging needs. We are very pleased to have been selected by the NYSE, who we have enjoyed working with for over a dozen years, to deploy our capabilities to serve the Floor Broker community.”
