eFX trading technology solutions provider TradAir has announced that its partnership with Forex ECN FastMatch is now live. TradAir will be providing FastMatch with:
- Complete end-to-end FX trading platform, leveraging the latest in high-performance cloud, web, BigData, and HTML5 technology
- Comprehensive admin suite, supporting user and organization on-boarding, with granular permissioning of trading functionality, workflows and display components
- Professional level HTML5 trading UI, fully branded and customizable with support for broad range of manual and algo trading styles and order types
- All underpinned by TradAir’s real-time trading analytics engine
This is not the first time TradAir and FastMatch have met. Late last year FastMatch hired TradAir’s Andrew Gibson as Director of Sales for Europe. However Gibson left FastMatch after just four months, as was exclusively reported at the time by LeapRate.
FastMatch, which is jointly owned by retail forex broker FXCM Inc (NASDAQ:FXCM) and commercial banks Credit Suisse and BNY Mellon, is a leading institutional Forex ECN, servicing banks, institutional clients, and professional trading firms, with average daily volumes (ADV) of around $13bn/day, executed via APIs.
However, a good proportion of global FX volumes are also executed by traders clicking on screens, and leveraging a broad range of trading styles and workflows.
In order to reach the ‘clicker’ segment of the market, FastMatch needed a strong trading technology partner, with a highly secure, end-to-end trading platform, that was fully integrated with FastMatch’s ECN order book.
