Integral’s innovations have always been centered on providing clients with unrivalled access to credit and liquidity. Unlocking direct access to leading CFD market makers through a single credit and technology relationship is a big step forward in what has been a bilateral market, until now.

This innovation is a truly ground-breaking development in the CFD market structure. By enabling LPs and customers to trade directly with each other, without the burden of managing multiple bilateral relationships, traders of CFD products will realize significant liquidity and cost benefits.
FXCM Pro will provide its balance sheet along with its post-trade infrastructure so that clients can benefit from the margin and operational benefits of a single account. Integral’s technology platform will allow clients to use a single connection to get aggregated prices and transact with multiple liquidity providers without having to go through multiple bilateral relationships.
