CEO Sandhu cites growth in retail FX trading
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (March 3, 2008) Integral Development Corp. ('Integral') announced that it had concluded separate technology licensing agreements for the integration of Integral's FX Grid 3.0 and two leading retail forex trading platforms. Under the agreements, brokers operating PFSoft's ProTrader and MetaQuotes> Software Corp's MetaTrader 4 gain direct market access to multi-bank liquidity through Integral's FX Grid®.
The integrations, available today, include the capability for brokers to configure FX Grid 3.0 aggregated pricing streams from multiple sources and tailor them to their individual business models. Brokers interested should contact Integral for a demonstration.
Harpal Sandhu, Integral's CEO, said: "Retail forex is a high growth market segment. Many Brokers are focusing solely on retail forex and other banks and brokers are moving as quickly as possible to offer their clients forex solutions along side all other asset classes." These agreements and several others to be announced are serving as a catalyst for growth by allowing brokers to bypass single source pricing systems and allow their clients to leverage transparent, multi-source liquidity from the FX Grid."
The agreements are between PFSoft for ProTrader and Boston Technologies, MetaTraders USA representative for MetaTrader 4. MetaQuotes and PFSoft each specialize in financial trading software solutions for retail forex.
Denis Borisovsky CEO of PFSoft said: "Access to Integral technology and its connectivity with the major bank liquidity providers has tremendous appeal to our broker clients. With retail volume worldwide skyrocketing, we wanted to enhance our solution by integrating to a global network with greater scale, depth of liquidity, and price transparency."
George Popescu, CEO of Boston Technologies said: "Liquidity and pricing is the key for our broker's MetaTrader 4 retail trading systems. Single point access to multi-source liquidity and aggregation greatly enhances our solutions right out of the box."
Viral Tolat, Integral's Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer said: "Integral's solutions and services are delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) so the Protrader and MetaTrader 4 integration is quick and easy, done without adding new IT infrastructure or software.
