Two leading global FX and CFD technology providers, Swissrisk Financial Systems and Gold-i have joined forces to enable SmartLive Markets, a young, dynamic trading house, to roll out their price feed index using the MetaTrader platform. Trading prices can now be taken in real time from the Swissrisk price engine, pushing them into MetaTrader.

According to James Parker, Managing Director, SmartLive Markets, “We needed to enhance our pricing offering and required a system to be developed within a very short time frame. Swissrisk and Gold-i are both leaders in their fields and helped us to set up the systems we needed within a matter of weeks.”

The price feed enhancement will provide SmartLive with the ability to provide multi-asset trading through the expandable Swissrisk system, leveraging the benefits of Swissrisk’s data cleansing and pricing engine.

Gary Owen, Account Manager at Swissrisk Financial Systems added, “Swissrisk has a long and well established track record in the management of market data and asset class agnostic pricing. Integration with MetaTrader completes the front office business flow. Gold-i, as the market leader in retail trading systems integration, was the ideal partner for this project.”

Tom Higgins, CEO of Gold-i, concluded, “No one else in the trading industry currently has this ability to process multiple asset classes. The unique pricing index will give SmartLive a significant competitive edge at a time when more and more traders are migrating away from single asset class strategies.”
