Technology Licensing Agreements Concluded for Integration of ProTrader and MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading Platforms with Integral's FX Grid(R)
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Integral Development Corp. ('Integral') announced that it had concluded separate technology licensing agreements for the integration of Integral's FX Grid(R) 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 integration technology enabling the retail forex sector to access the Integral FX Grid is being generally released today. It enables brokers to configure aggregated pricing streams from multiple sources on the FX Grid and tailor them to their individual business models. Broker-dealers offering forex trading can arrange to see a demonstration of the technology by visiting www.integral.com.
Harpal Sandhu, Integral's CEO, said: "As retail forex trading is growing rapidly, many brokers are specializing in the sector while banks and other financial service firms are moving quickly to add forex trading to their service offerings."
"These initial integration 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," he added.
The integration agreements between Integral and PFSoft for ProTrader and Boston Technologies, MetaQuotes' USA representative for MetaTrader 4, are the first of their kind to be implemented. 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 skyrocketing worldwide, we wanted to enhance our solution by integrating with a global network offering greater scale, depth of liquidity and price transparency."
George Popescu, CEO of Boston Technologies, said: "Liquidity and pricing are key to the success of our brokers' 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: "Our technology is delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) so the ProTrader and MetaTrader 4 integration is quick, easy and is accomplished without adding new IT infrastructure or software."
