EasyScreen, the exchange trading systems developer, has developed a new system with Fortis Clearing, the Belgo-Dutch financial services group, and B&C Derivatives, the London-based broker, that allows derivatives, fixed income and equities to be traded on a single screen.

The move involves an upgrading of EasyScreen's EasyXchange system, which combines exchange connectivity, order routing and pre-trade risk management for derivatives on a single trading screen. Brokers and fund managers using the screen will now have the same direct market access to the equity markets as was previously available to the derivatives markets.
