Speed Saves

Speed Saves

First and foremost traders need to hit their trades. Even the most sophisticated trading model looses its value if the execution functionality is too slow to capture the trade.

The advent of the electronic trading revolution and the pressure from HFT models has raised the bar for delivering execution speed. The ability to meet the requirements of incessant and rapid trading models seeking to repeatedly capture small profit margin is often the measure of success or failure.

Trading with ineffective execution leads to an increase in slippage, negative impact on the accuracy of your model and, ultimately, lower returns. High latency execution systems are at the root of underperforming platforms and the primary cause of recurring rejections. To overcome these inefficiencies, FX-Works has reduced execution time to 1ms.

Executing at 1ms provides traders a distinct competitive advantage to complete trades before the price expires. Traders will hit more than 90% of executed trades. Assuming similar network latency, the FX-Works system reduces rejection rates 25% to 50% versus other platforms.

FX-Works speed overcomes execution inefficiencies delivering reduced rejection rates, minimal slippage, increased efficiency and tighter spreads. FX-Works optimal execution generates substantial savings.

If everyone has access to the same information, when the market moves, traders who are too slow are going to get left behind. Are you? Think about how 1ms execution time could impact your trading results. Better yet, let us show you how “speed saves.”
