PFGBEST.com and Avadhi Team Up: BEST Direct ProTrader Now Can Trade Forex
04.28.2008
PFGBEST.com and Avadhi have again teamed up so that traders using BEST Direct ProTrader, an Avadhi platform, can now access the largest market in the world: the global foreign exchange market. Increasingly, electronic traders want access to forex, a market which never sleeps and which has volumes totaling U.S. $3 trillion on a daily basis.
"BEST Direct ProTrader is one of our company’s most popular platforms, among the 17 different platforms that have spun off the original BEST Direct electronic trading platform,” said Russell R. Wasendorf, Jr., president and chief operating officer of PFGBEST.com. "In answer to the demand for the forex trading features, Avahdi provided a great technology solution so that futures and options markets can be traded seamlessly alongside forex on this reliable platform. Its powerful automation facilities are part of its appeal to sophisticated traders who have selected this as their primary trading platform,” Wasendorf added.
Avadhi CEO Paresh Malde points out that his financial technology company designed the base BEST Direct ProTrader platform launched by PFG in 2006 with expansion in mind. "BEST Direct ProTrader started as a platform for futures and options, but in teaming with PFGBEST.com, our engineering group anticipated that many customers would one day want to be able to trade in other asset classes. Now, to do this, they don't need to switch to another platform and learn an entirely new system," he said.
Mr. Malde added that additional modules for BEST Direct ProTrader, allowing for trading in new markets and further customization of proprietary strategies, are already in the works at Avadhi.
The response from customers to the side-by-side futures/options/forex capabilities of BEST Direct ProTrader has been extremely positive, according to Ryan Hansen, PFGBEST.com director of Vendor Integration. "They like the simplicity of accessing BEST Direct ProTrader's workspace, and they appreciate its integration to other automated and customizable features."
Existing subscribers to BEST Direct ProTrader can add forex trading through their subscription page. Customers new to PFGBEST.com can subscribe to BEST Direct ProTrader and then choose among many premium modules, including forex.
