Tickblaze Taps Sterling OMS 360 to Power Order Management for Prop Trading Clients | LeapRate

Sterling Trading Tech’s flagship OMS platform to be integrated into Tickblaze’s multi-asset trading ecosystem

Sterling Trading Tech (Sterling) has announced that Tickblaze, a trading infrastructure engine for proprietary traders and their firms, has selected Sterling OMS 360 as its order management system of choice. The platform will be made available to Tickblaze’s end clients as part of a broader technology integration.

Tickblaze operates as a multi-asset trading platform, connecting proprietary trading firms, brokers, quants, and individual traders through a unified ecosystem. By embedding Sterling OMS 360 into its technology stack, Tickblaze aims to deliver enhanced risk management capabilities and regulatory compliance tools directly to its client base.

Sterling OMS 360 distinguishes itself as the industry’s only OMS to provide native, real-time enforcement of both Reg T and Portfolio Margin requirements across the full order lifecycle. The system supports Excess, SMA, PDT, and Portfolio Margin requirements simultaneously, enabling firms to prevent margin violations before orders reach the market — a departure from competing solutions that rely on post-trade checks or partial controls.

The partnership arrives at a critical moment, as the industry navigates a broader shift away from traditional pattern day trading frameworks toward real-time intraday margin requirements under evolving FINRA Rule 4210 standards.

Tickblaze CEO Sean Kozak cited scalability, performance, and the platform’s auto-liquidate functionality as key factors in the decision, while Sterling President and CEO Jen Nayar highlighted OMS 360’s unmatched regulatory capabilities as a differentiator for the proprietary trading community.
