MB Trading Launches Retail FIX Product and Support

El Segundo, CA, April 03, 2008 --(PR.com)-- MB Trading, a financial services company, announced Monday that it has launched full support for third party developers to connect their applications via FIX. The company is offering full support via forums, phone, and e-mail to customers around the globe.

MB Trading views the launch as another step in allowing third party software developers tremendous flexibility for plugging into the MBTX execution engine. “FIX allows for extremely low-level access for the developer. Our goal is to make that connection reliable but yet open to their needs, and we plan to support them fully in the process of connecting to us. This takes third party developer support to a whole new level in all of the markets that we cover,” said Ross Ditlove, CEO of MB Trading.

Pricing for FIX connectivity will be $250 to set up a connection and $50 monthly, which can be offset against that number in commissions. To welcome those that have been waiting for the product launch, MB Trading is offering 50% off of the set up fee and no monthly charges until June 1, 2008, for those that sign up before that date.

"Some brokers just offer their own platform. Others allow certain third party developers to connect to them. We want to let anyone that takes the initiative to create a GUI or trading system or full-fledged platform to plug into our execution, which has topped Barron’s Trade Technology and Trade Execution ratings over the last five years, including the recent 2008 rankings” said David Lipsett, Executive Vice-President of MB Trading. “Writing the complex execution algorithms and maintaining that for all markets is the hard part. Developers with great ideas don’t need to spend millions to reinvent that piece when we already provide it. They can concentrate on meeting end-user needs instead.”
