Orient Futures Singapore switches to MetaTrader 5

Orient Futures Singapore, a Singapore-based financial institution serving HFT traders for trading into exchange-traded and OTC market venues, has started offering the MetaTrader 5 platform to its clients globally. The launch of MetaTrader 5 adds to the growing suite of professional trading systems currently offered by the firm.

This move makes Orient Futures one of the most active local participants in the third largest foreign exchange hub in the world. The MetaTrader 5 server and ecosystem, including connections to the firm’s liquidity aggregator via the special MetaTrader 5 bridge, are strategically co-located in Equinix SG1 data center with other Tier-1 FX Liquidity Providers operating and matching orders in the same environment. This allows for high-speed and low latency trading.

For a financial institution that offers both OTC FX and FX exchange-traded derivatives in SGX with close to zero latency, not just in but also between Equinix SG1 and SGX co-location data centers, this latest platform launch is a major complement to its product suite.
