Global FX technologies provider Tradency Inc., has announced a new joint solutions initiative with Simplex Inc., melding Tradency’s ‘Mirror Trader’ and Simplex’s comprehensive FX Trading Platform
Trading Platform
In the FX space, a currency trading platform is a software provided by brokers to their respective client base, garnering access as traders in the broader market. Most commonly, this reflects an online interface or mobile app, complete with tools for order processing.Every broker needs one or more trading platforms to accommodate the needs of different clients. Being the backbone of the company’s offering, a trading platform provides clients with quotes, a selection of instruments to trade, real-time updates on quotes, charts and is the main frontend which customers are facing.Brokers either use existing trading platforms and sometimes customize them, or develop their own platform from scratch. Since the beginning of the retail FX trading business MetaQuotes and its platforms MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) have been the industry standard, especially when it comes to automated trading.MT4 Shows Resiliency While MT4 has long been seen as ubiquitous amongst brokers’ offerings, a targeted push by MetaQuotes themselves has led to broader adoption of MT5 in recent years. Advanced trading platforms such as MT4 or MT5 also allow access to a wide range of asset classes available for trading.The development of trading platforms over the past decade has failed to successfully dethrone MT4 or MT5, notably in the retail market. However, in institutional markets, brokerage companies and banking entities also construct and utilize proprietary currency trading platforms to help satisfy internal needs with trades executed through institutional trading channels.By far the most important parameter for many retail clients is the optionality and pairs available on trading platforms. Additionally, demand by traders has led to a greater emphasis on newer features such as advanced charting and other tools.

Mirror Trader Technology Already an FX Fixture
Tradency is best known throughout the FX industry for being a leading provider of unique social trading technology, namely its Mirror Trader solution. The technology enables FX traders to select a trading strategy and automatically “mirror” their executed trades to more experienced traders. The company also made recent waves in Japan by becoming the first copy trading platform provider to be regulated by the Japanese Financial Services Agency (JFSA) .
Lior Nabat, CEO, Tradency
According to Lior Nabat, Tradency CEO, in a statement on the cooperation, “Our cooperation provides the Japanese brokers with the high-end level of support and service they are accustomed to from topnotch providers such as Simplex. We take great pride in their decision to cooperate with us. It proves once again, as we have seen during the last year that leading technology providers are integrating with Mirror Trader as their system trading solution of choice.”
Joint Solution Looks to Build off Simplex’s Extensive Market Exposure
Conversely, the cooperation also integrates Simplex’s unique algorithmic FX trading platform – in Japan itself, no less than 30% of FX transitions rely on the solution, underscoring its importance and exposure into the Japanese FX market. The intricate process is eventually culminated in the amalgamation of two industry stalwarts providing users and brokers with a truly potent FX solution.
“We expect that Mirror Trader will serve as a gateway to expand Simplex’s Japanese standard business offering to worldwide brokers. We aim to build a non-exclusive partnership with global companies that focuse on product development and advanced services to financial institutions,” added Hideki Kaneko, Simplex CEO, in an adjoining statement.
