Berkeley Partners with FlexTrade to Offer MaxxTrader as Front-End Platform
- Berkeley Futures is the latest broker to sign a partnership with FlexTrade, offering MaxxTrader. Berkeley hopes to improve its existing FX offering by adding a new trading platform offering multi-asset functionality and "advanced" TCA features.
Berkeley Futures Ltd, a UK-based broker of FX and CFD products, has announced a partnership with FlexTrade as the broker looks to offer a wider range of products to its client base. Partly owned by Macquarie Investments, Berkeley was established in 1986 and is currently a member of the London Stock Exchange.
The partnership means Berkeley will white-label FlexTrade’s platform, MaxxTrader, as an ASP front-end platform, facilitating a wide range of features in addition to straightforward trade execution. MaxxTrader offers “the full trading cycle, including price construction, distribution, trade execution, hedging, position management, post trade analysis on G10 currencies, Non Deliverable Forward contracts (NDFs), and base and precious metals,” according to FlexTrade.
The specialized platform also caters to institutional requirements such as transaction cost analysis via built in tool FlexTCA, which offers real-time and historical transaction cost analysis in trading global equities, FX, as well as derivatives for portfolios and single stocks. MaxxTrader also allows traders to analyze the performance of standard, algorithmic and strategic trading over time, thus helping to accurately identify the statistical performance of a trading strategy.
Berkeley’s decision to utilize MaxxTrader follows on the heels of Blackwell Global which announced an identical partnership earlier this month.
