Key benefits of LMAX Exchange for Institutional Clients:

  • Ultra-low latency execution venue
  • The LMAX Exchange award-winning trading technology ensures orders are processed and matched with superior speed and efficiency. As all order matching, without exception, takes place on the LMAX Exchange with no ‘Last Look’, clients receive a truly unique execution experience. Over 90% of trades are executed in less than 10ms.

     

  • Anonymous neutral trading
  • The LMAX Exchange offers completely neutral, transparent and anonymous Forex and CFD trading. As an FSA regulated MTF, LMAX enables clients to trade with complete anonymity within an environment where all participants receive the same pricing and liquidity regardless of their status, size or activity levels.

     

  • Open order book access
  • LMAX clients not only have the ability to view the order book but can additionally enter limit (i.e. bids/offer) orders within the spread. This means the client can avoid paying the spread each time they trade, since other LMAX clients can deal directly (but anonymously) on the client’s limit orders.

     

  • Competitive spreads, liquidity from leading financial institutions
  • To ensure the availability of the best possible spreads and liquidity for all its customers, LMAX continually works on increasing the number of its General Members.

    LMAX understands that spreads are just part of the equation. Therefore, in addition to the above, clients with qualifying monthly volumes can enjoy competitive discounted commission terms.

     

  • Flexible connectivity options
  • Clients can choose from a comprehensive range of API connectivity options including .NET, Java, LMAX Protocol and FIX 4.4. For those brokers utilising Meta Trader MT4/5 who are interested in harnessing LMAX liquidity to price their clients and offset their flow, there are ‘plug and play’ bridge solutions available which we will be pleased to discuss.
