Pelican partnership combines with Batch Hedger

The partnership with Pelican follows on from IS Prime launching its proprietary batch hedging tool in July of 2019, dubbed Batch Hedger. This tool allows brokers to provide the same fill price to all traders involved in social trading.

Specifically, the company’s batch hedging algorithm was designed to support EA, copy, and social trading activity. Therefore, it can handle flow that historically, providers have had to avoid in the past.

Therefore, through the partnership announced today, combined with the Batch Hedger, the liquidity provider can now provide clients with copy and social trading solutions, which can help drive volumes and maintain core spreads at the same time.

Commenting on the partnership, Raj Sitlani, Managing Partner at IS Prime, said in the statement: “We have seen a huge rise in social and copy trading across the industry. Partnering with Pelican allows us to extend our reach and quickly deliver solutions that clients need, helping them grow. Pelican’s technology, combined with its FCA regulation, is a very compelling offering.”

The prime of prime brokerage is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as a Prime of Prime and liquidity provider. The company has recently been expanding its offering, namely, the firm secured a forex trading license in Hong Kong, as Finance Magnates reported.

“Pelican specialises in working with many of the best-known brokerages in the market, enabling them to offer new and innovative products to their clients,” added Mike Read, Co-Founder and CEO of Pelican Trading.

“Partnering with IS Prime, a leading Liquidity Provider, with execution technology specifically designed for this sort of flow, enables our clients to have a more effective trading experience.”

Speaking to Finance Magnates, Robert Buxton, Sales Director, IS Prime said: “If copy trading is not executed correctly then the effect of hundreds, if not thousands, of orders hitting Liquidity Providers Liquidity Providers A liquidity provider (LP) constitutes an individual and/or an institution that functions as a market maker in a given asset class. Broadly speaking, liquidity providers will act as both the buyer and seller of a particular asset, thus making a market. In the equities space, many stock exchanges rely on liquidity providers who make the commitment to provide liquidity in a given equity. These liquidity providers commit to providing liquidity in the hopes that they will be able to make a profit on A liquidity provider (LP) constitutes an individual and/or an institution that functions as a market maker in a given asset class.

"This has the effect of leaving Liquidity providers with significant losses as well as giving a poor trading experience to the end-clients themselves. The first order of the batch may be filled at market but overall there will often be significant slippage on the vast majority.

The combination of a poor client and a poor LP experience can negatively impact brokers over time as client volumes from these strategies fall and, at the same time, LPs widen spreads to protect themselves from toxic flow. Using IS Prime’s proprietary tools, specifically designed to execute this type of trading, we are able to send huge volumes of orders to market whilst simultaneously protecting LPs and optimising execution for the end client. “
