OnixS announces Solid FX market access solution
London: Tuesday 15th March 2011 – OnixS announces the availability of a calibrated FIX based market data and trading solution for the Solid FX currency trading platform.
Developed by Solid Trading B.V., Solid FX is a Foreign Exchange trading platform, providing deep liquidity in virtually every currency pair. Solid FX offers a transparent platform with a near zero latency matching engine, conforming to the business rules seen on regulated exchanges.
The OnixS Solid FX solution is a packaged software distribution that includes the OnixS selfConnect FIX engine, a calibrated and tested Solid FX FIX dialect variant implementation, and Solid FX specific reference implementation source code sample market data and trading client software for “out-of-the-box” testing for developers to quickly integrate with the Solid FX FIX API.
Wayne Meikle, Commercial Director of OnixS said “We worked with Solid Trading and mutual customers to create this packaged Solid FX connectivity solution. The benefits are primarily two fold – to provide Solid FX customers with a proven and supported Solid FX trading platform access solution, and to provide Solid FX with a solution for rapid customer onboarding.”
