One institutional trader of forex and precious metals just chose a single provider for its trading needs.

Phillip Futures, a member of PhillipCapital Group , has deployed FlexTrade’s MaxxTrader, its full STP, white label FX trading system to process client NDFs, spot currencies and precious metals.

“FlexTrade’s multi-bank streaming capabilities add value to our business in Non Deliverable Forwards (NDF), spot currencies and precious metals,” said Joseph Ng, business development director, FOREX/Bullion at Phillip Futures. “Since we are enjoying an interest in demand from clients to trade NDFs, this capability not only provides them with easy execution of trades, but also gives them more competitive prices when they trade with us.”
