REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.,/PRNewswire/ -- Fortex, Inc., one of
the leading electronic communication network (ECN) trading
platforms, today announced that its new Fortex MT4 Web Trader is
deployed and available to clients of Pepperstone Group Limited.
Fortex Web Trader is an online utility that provides broker dealers
with direct access to Metatrader 4 (MT4) accounts from a desktop
web browser or from mobile devices. For the first time, traders can
trade in their MT4 environments with a consumer-like user interface
and without the usual access restrictions imposed by corporate
firewalls.
Pepperstone has deployed Fortex MT4 Web Trader technology to
replace its previous web trading software. The Pepperstone offering
is customized to provide traders with live market depth in their
MT4 environments. HTML5 Webtrader works on Mac OSX, Linux, Windows,
iOS, and Android platforms. Its highly intuitive interface is easy
to use and can be tailored to meet users' preferences. Advanced
charting features also allow users to view real-time charts with
advanced technical analysis and indicators.
"We
never rest in our desire to continue Pepperstone's strong
reputation of being at the forefront of ECN market technology for
clients," said Owen
Kerr, chief executive officer and co-founder of
Pepperstone. "With this platform we are confident this trend will
continue. Our new Web
Trader platform provides traders with full market depth
of the interbank markets through their familiar MT4 environment
with the power, ease of use, and 'anywhere-anytime' access of a
consumer web application. It delivers superior stability and
reliability, and it offers expanded access to deep global dark pool
FX liquidity, as well as metal, energy, and CFD products."
As a
cloud solution, broker dealers subscribe to Fortex MT4 Web Trader
as a service (SaaS), eliminating the need to purchase, deploy,
upgrade, license, or maintain complex software or additional
infrastructure. Unlike other software, there are no continuous
upgrades, licensing fees, maintenance, or support fees.
"Mobility and ease of use have become essential elements of
successful trading strategies," said Daniel
Chen, chief executive officer and co-founder of Fortex.
"With Fortex MT4 Web Trader, we've opened the door for MT4 users to
easily gain both of these qualities while trading in MT4
environments or using MT4 as their interface to the powerful Fortex
ECN platform. We continue to pursue innovations that improve
traders' insights, responsiveness, and visibility into market
conditions."
The
Fortex ECN platform is designed for high-frequency, low-latency
performance and optimized for buy-side and sell-side institutions.
It offers direct access to Tier 1 liquidity from all major money
center banks. The Fortex XCloud server grid offers dedicated dark
fiber connections, eliminating the need to use the public Internet
and delivering sub-1ms speed and 480-Gbps throughput. The powerful
Fortex XBook matching engine represents each trader's order in the
interbank market to match with the best liquidity available,
including hidden liquidity pools.
