HiThanks for your response. When u say u have live experience (product manager), do u mean u are a user (i.e. client) or "seller"? :-)If u are a user, can u tell me what do u use it for (asset classes, trading/hedging, risk management or something else)...we have had trouble finding live users in the market (that have similar type of business and needs as we).I fully understand if u are not comfortable sharing this information...but if u can that would be highly appreciated.
