Trading

The foreign exchange trading landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. The composition of who is trading, how trading is accomplished, where trades are being executed and how much is being traded have all undergone unpredictable and unprecedented change. The markets servicing this landscape are being required to change in ways that were not foreseen when the infrastructure was built. As a result sell-side banks are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in their attempts to win market share and gain any possible technological advantage. In addition, the success of multi-dealer platforms has created intense competition for clients. These clients are demanding reliable trading platforms to scale the rigors of volatile volume spikes and offer the best liquidity with executable streamed prices from a range of sources.

Spotex was designed specifically for the following types of institutional traders - Arbitrage, high frequency, high volume and system traders. The platform's ultra-low latency and highly executable prices make it ideal for the current FX evolution where trade volume has increased and average trade size decreased.
