"Haitong Futures is well known for providing fast and effective IT systems in China's futures industry," said Lili Wang, Manager of Haitong Futures International Department in Shanghai. "We often hear clients asking for a good English trading system, so one of our goals was to provide a one-stop English platform for QFIIs, hedge funds and other international investors for trading in China's futures markets. After a detailed study, we chose FlexFutures to satisfy our clients' demand for manual click trading and algo trading."
Built to seamlessly integrate with order management systems and other proprietary or third-party systems, FlexFutures comes fully integrated with many rules-based trading strategies, including Pairs, Calendar Spreads and Iceberg, as well as synthetic and contingent order types that are designed to reduce market impact and slippage, minimize risk, and improve trading performance. It is fully scalable and configurable for multiple users over a network, and every user can customize the look of his or her screen.
"We are delighted that Haitong Futures has chosen FlexFutures," said Manish Kedia, Managing Director of FlexTrade Systems Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. "As derivatives markets become more automated in China, it's critical for firms such as Haitong Futures to use trading technology platforms such as FlexFutures to help their international clients trade futures in China's derivatives markets while reducing market impact and minimizing slippage."
