Aegisoft Provides Access to Foreign Exchange Liquidity From Major Banks

NEW YORK, NY, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Aegisoft, a leading provider of global trading solutions, is pleased to
report that its real-time market aggregation and algorithmic trading
platform, AthenaFX(TM), now provides connectivity to foreign exchange
liquidity from the world's largest financial institutions including
Barclays, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Morgan Stanley
and UBS.

Most banks maintain FX trading via the FIX Protocol Specification, in
support of both executable streaming prices and the Request for Quote
trading model. When streaming prices, dealable updates are continually
sent, while the RFQ model will transmit quote updates until the client
trades or the time-to-live timer expires. Banks are an important source of
liquidity, trading in dozens of currencies and in hundreds of pairs, up to
two or three years forward.

"In today's rapidly moving and fragmented FX market, traders need a fast
and easy way to access multiple liquidity venues in order to establish the
right price and depth. Our customers gain a holistic view of the market --
either aggregated or by venue, by price or by quantity breakpoint --
enabling them to deploy FX trading strategies that span liquidity pools
and quickly capitalize on real-time market opportunities," said Norm
Friedman, Vice President at Aegisoft. "Users of AthenaFX benefit from
sharper pricing, lower latency and better execution on every trade, all
with just a single click on an aggregated book," Friedman added.

"Professional users are placing increased importance on technology that
delivers a single point of access to market liquidity, combined with a
common trading record. By delivering efficiency gains, this technology
enables users to retain more trading value," said Justyn Trenner, CEO &
Principal, ClientKnowledge.

From customizable trading "personalities" to stealth algorithms that
arbitrage across multiple venues, AthenaFX provides unique functions for
access to the entire FX marketplace. Banks, brokers and buy-side
institutions are drawn to AthenaFX for its easy-to-use aggregated
interface, algorithmic capability and its demonstrated speed and
stability.

23-25.
