Rival One’s latest platform update puts speed, flexibility, and control directly in the hands of professional traders.

In a recent live webinar, Director of Product Management Bernie Schwartz and Director of Business Development Jack McGreal walked through the newest enhancements to Rival One, demonstrating how the platform’s latest upgrades deliver a more intuitive, faster, and more powerful trading experience across equities and options.

Here’s a quick recap of what was covered—and why it matters for active traders.

A Unified Workspace That Works the Way You Trade

Rival One’s customizable workspace lets you create and link multiple components—from order tickets and time & sales to depth-of-market and options chain—so that every view stays synchronized.

Traders can now group windows by symbol, color-link modules, and manage multiple tickers side by side. Whether running multiple monitors or a compact setup, the workflow adapts to you, not the other way around.

Key takeaways:

  • Multi-asset support across equities, futures, and crypto
  • Smart search for faster symbol discovery
  • Linked components for seamless symbol updates across your workspace
  • Full flexibility to rearrange, resize, and save custom layouts

The New Depth Ticket: Built for Speed and Clarity

The Depth Ticket takes center stage in this release—designed specifically for equities traders who need to move quickly and execute with precision.

With level-one and top-of-book visibility, traders can place, modify, or cancel orders in seconds—all from a single screen. Default routes, accounts, and quantities are configurable, making order entry faster and reducing the chance for error.

Highlights:

  • Real-time NBBO display
  • Instant cancel-all or instrument-specific cancel buttons
  • Inline order modification (price, quantity, route)
  • Unlimited depth tickets across multiple monitors

Enhanced Equity Options Chain

For options traders, Rival One’s vertically oriented Options Chain introduces faster navigation, built-in volatility analytics, and spread-building tools that simplify complex workflows.

Each strike displays key metrics like delta, volume, and volatility change—while the integrated volatility graph updates automatically as you switch expirations.

What traders loved most:

  • Auto-fit volatility curves that adapt dynamically with every tick
  • Integrated vol graph linked to your chain
  • Trade directly from the chain or drag-and-drop into a watchlist
  • Build spreads in seconds with intuitive strike selection

Smarter Spread Building and Multi-Leg Execution

The Spread Builder brings new depth to multi-leg options trading. Traders can now build, price, and launch complex strategies—including verticals, flies, risk reversals, and custom structures—without leaving the chain.

Each spread automatically calculates theoretical value and Greeks in real time, even for user-defined configurations.

And for advanced desks, Rival One supports equity vs. futures spreads and basket trades with no leg limit.

Advanced features include:

  • Autohedge for delta-neutral execution
  • Vol-based order entry
  • Contingent and edge-based option algos
  • Custom multi-leg and covered spreads

The Rival Spreader: Precision Control for Pairs and Basket Traders

Originally developed for futures, the Rival Spreader now gives equities and options traders a powerful tool to create and trade synthetic relationships.

The Spreader lets you define custom ratios, hedge legs, and price multipliers—all visualized through a live ladder.

Perfect for:

  • Pairs trading
  • Basket execution
  • Equity vs. futures arbitrage
  • Multi-leg, cross-asset strategies

Broker Neutral. Multi-Asset. Built for Pros.

Rival One remains broker- and clearing-agnostic, allowing traders to connect to multiple brokers, OEMS, or risk systems without friction. Whether you’re trading through your existing clearing firm or executing direct to exchange, Rival One integrates seamlessly.
