Retail investors play pivotal role in driving innovation in Australian trading technology

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FlexTrade Systems (@FlexTrade), a global leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems, has partnered with FP Markets, an Australian leading broker in Foreign Exchange (Forex) and Contracts for Differences (CFD) trading, to launch Mottai Trader, a cutting-edge trading platform that prioritizes speed, user experience, and customization to simplify trading workflows with automation that adjusts to ever-changing market conditions for Active Traders at their fingertips.

Australian Active Traders have been frustrated by the limited choice in local platforms, insufficient technology investment in R&D from local vendors, and lack of engagement between end-users and vendors. In response, FP Markets has collaborated with FlexTrade to launch a new multi-asset trading platform – Mottai Trader.

The platform's flexible solution within an open architecture is designed to deliver a seamless and tailor-made journey to each trader, evolving along with their needs. With over three decades of market expertise in the industry, FlexTrade not only offers a stable, integrated solution to ensure smooth and scalable trading operations, but also empowers traders with dedicated local support whenever and wherever they trade as well as customization such as personalizing their widget library to cater to their trading strategies.

James Hammond, Vice President, APAC at FlexTrade stated: “We're thrilled to launch Mottai Trader in partnership with FP Markets and deliver this solution to the Australian market. We believe that there is no better way to build software for Traders than with Traders. Through a series of workshops and working groups, FP Markets have helped us craft a solution that not only addresses the concerns of their users but also provides richer functionality when compared to incumbent systems. This has resulted in a web-based platform that redefines user experience, speed, and customization, something that has been eagerly awaited by Australian retail brokers and investors.”

Thomas Roberts, General Manager APAC at FP Markets stated: “FP Markets is excited to spearhead the launch of the Mottai platform to the Australian trading community. Mottai has enabled us to expand our product offering and provide a fully bespoke trading platform to our client base. We have been trialing the new platform with a select number of clients over the last few months and the response has been outstanding. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with FlexTrade as we continue to offer the best conditions for the Australian trading community.”

With the launch of Mottai Trader, FlexTrade has also partnered with ASX to become a certified Market Data Vendor, distributing ASX content and analytics to clients and leveraging key infrastructure provided by ASX.

Diccon Close, General Manager, Information Services and Connectivity at ASX noted: “ASX welcomes FlexTrade as a new Market Data Vendor and is proud to have been selected as a strategic partner for the innovative Mottai platform, leveraging ASX's Australian Liquidity Center (ALC) and ASX Net's high-bandwidth, low-latency network as key components for the distribution of ASX data and analytics. By utilizing ASX's robust infrastructure and accessing the extensive ecosystem within the ALC, FlexTrade will enjoy enhanced reliability, security, and performance, reinforcing ASX's position as a trusted partner in the Australian financial landscape.”
