Introducing OrderBookFX

Black Light Data is pleased to announce OrderBookFX: a new tool for retail and institutional FX traders. We provide a real-time FX liquidity data stream showing the global depth of book for all major currencies. Developed by traders who understand that most currency market participants are blind to price runs on short term horizons, OrderBookFX provides this visibility on a massive scale. Our subscribers see the global institutional limit orders above and below the current market prices in a real-time, low-latency display.

OrderBookFX provides a cost effective view of crucial market data not previously available to the public

Real-Time, High Frequency

The OrderBookFX service streams data to your workstation or automated trading systems blazingly fast and with very low latency. Our custom platform is capable of delivering thousands of book updates per second to your desktop with minimal network and CPU resources required (see our support page for system requirements and other technical information).

Transparency

Knowing where real supply and demand are is a vital key to successful trading. With OrderBookFX you will see where the big institutional orders are, and where they are not.

When speculators are aware of true sentiment, their strategies improve significantly and trading becomes more transparent and efficient. Our market data is live and unobstructed – the aggregate of institutional activity across a wide base of venues, not just one broker or ECN. OrderBookFX subscribers see the same standing limit orders that their brokers see, creating real transparency in the currency markets. With OrderBookFX, you will know when your broker's prices are lagging, drifting or otherwise unscrupulous.

 

Easy To Use

All OrderBookFX subscriptions come with clean, intuitive software for viewing our data stream. In addition, developers and technically savvy traders are welcome to integrate our data into their systems using the included API and any development tool that supports Windows named pipes. Example code is provided in C# and VB.Net, and a DLL is provided for integration with MetaTrader and other closed systems.

OrderBookFX was built as a toolset, allowing traders of every caliber to enhance their strategies. Devise new trading algorithms from our unique, real-time data stream. Use our ready-to-go, open source client to view the book data stream on your trading workstation in real-time, or integrate our low latency API into your trading systems at no additional cost.

Our Value Proposition

We offer unprecedented market transparency to FX traders. Through OrderBookFX, the institutional bids and offers that move the currency markets worldwide are aggregated and offered to the trading community. By viewing current, real-time buying and selling pressures, our clients are no longer blind to the forces that move their markets.
