Blackwell picks MaxxTrader as its trading platform for foreign exchange and precious metals. With the platform offering advanced TCA features, Blackwell hopes to enrich the retail market with institutional delights.
Blackwell Global, the Cyprus-based FX and Precious Metals broker, has adopted MaxxTrader as its preferred Trading Platform for margin FX and precious metal products for its retail clients.
MaxxTrader was developed and implemented under a white-label (WL) agreement with FlexTrade Systems Inc. The company specializes in developing trading platforms for equities, foreign exchange and listed derivatives. According to FlexTrade, its solutions are currently used by 175 institutions across the financial services industry.
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.
To coincide with the platform's launch, Michael Chai, CEO of Blackwell Global said: "We’re confident that the new partnership with FlexTrade is a big step forward in strengthening our trade executions, offering clients access to better prices and deeper Liquidity ."
Manish Kedia, Managing Director of FlexTrade Systems in Singapore added, “With MaxxTrader and FlexTCA, Blackwell Global’s clients will experience a comprehensive platform that will aggregate, analyze and facilitate trading spot currencies in the global markets as well as precious metals.”
The unique selling point of MaxxTrader emphasized by FlexTrade is the platform's ability to allow dynamic "order taking directly from client to client, directly with the trading desk, or back-to-back with all liquidity providers."
FlexTrade has been designed to allow institutions to privately aggregate and issue price information to the markets and to clients with aggregated liquidity from more than 50 banks, ECNS and exchanges. MaxxTrader also provides Blackwell Global with "Admin Monitor" functionality that gives the broker the ability to "create, monitor and manage real-time trading activity (both GUI and API) through a single interface."

In this interview, we sat down with Charlotte Bullock, Head of Product at The Bank of London, previously at SAP and now shaping product at one of the sector’s most ambitious new banking players.
Charlotte reflects on the Summit so far and talks about the culture inside fintech banks today. We look at the pressures that come with scaling, and how firms can hold onto the nimble approach that made them stand out early on.
We also cover the state of payments ahead of her appearance on the payments roundtable: the blockages financial firms face, the areas that still need fixing, and what a realistic solution looks like in 2026.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.
