Forex Trading Platforms
A forex trading platform is a portal or software interface that allows customers to trade currencies with execution in all major FX instruments, including spot, forwards, NDFs, limit orders, options and swaps. Forex trading platforms provide liquidity through a single dealer (single dealer platform) or multiple dealers (multi-dealer platforms). Forex trading platforms advertise their capacity in terms of displaying transparent pricing, complying with best price execution requirements and providing trade history. Leading forex trading platforms targeting corporate clients offer seamless integration to Treasury Management Systems (TMS) with Straight-Through Processing (STP). Currency Management Automation solutions integrate forex trading platforms, providing connectivity between the ERP/TMS and forex trading platforms in order to automate FX hedging and distribute risks among multiple banks.
