As GAIN Capital grew its retail FX business, it needed more liquidity partners and better control over how it used them. Redev built the integration layer that made both possible.

About GAIN Capital
Founded in 1999 to give traders cost-effective access to global FX markets, GAIN Capital now serves retail and institutional investors across OTC and exchange-traded markets. Its brands include FOREX.com for active traders, the GTX institutional FX ECN and a futures division covering more than 30 exchanges. Headquartered in Bedminster, New Jersey, it has over 800 staff across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

The challenge
Offering FX pricing and trading to retail customers meant hedging large volumes of trades, which depended on liquidity from leading merchant banks. GAIN Capital needed to grow beyond its first two liquidity partners to offer tighter spreads and better liquidity, and to manage that liquidity more effectively in-house.

The solution
We developed a Liquidity Integration Solution that connects GAIN Capital’s platform to a wide range of merchant bank liquidity sources, built so the trading team could keep enhancing the platform without outside help.

• More than 30 merchant bank liquidity integrations across markets

• A platform the trading team can extend independently

• Better internal control over how liquidity is used

“Their expertise in integrating a variety of liquidity sources has been crucial…”
