AUSTIN, Texas / NEW YORK, April 4, 2019 – Eventus Systems, Inc., a leading global trade surveillance and market risk platform provider, announced that SageTrader, LLC, a San Francisco and New York based broker dealer, turned to Eventus for equities market surveillance. Announced today during the 83rd annual conference of the Security Traders Association of New York, SageTrader has deployed the cloud version of the Validus platform for trade surveillance.
