Discover what ION can do for you
One forex trading API to the entire FX market
As FX venues proliferate and liquidity becomes more fragmented, building and maintaining connectivity to markets is increasingly complex and expensive.
MarketFactory Whisperer sweeps away the complexity of connecting to FX markets worldwide. Whisperer connects to more than 150 APIs, supports direct connectivity points in CHI, NY4, LD4, SG1, and TY3, and has a speed of 5–7 microseconds – that’s up to 1,000 times faster than other market solutions.
Whisperer gives you access to the entire FX market, regardless of location, workflow, protocol, instrument, or liquidity provider.
Our solution covers all FX instruments and workflows, including spot, forwards, NDFs, and swaps. It supports advanced order types, including pegged, iceberg, fixing, and trailing stop, plus bank, third-party algos, and in-house algos.
What’s more, Whisperer supports your regulatory compliance, with fields for MiFID II, Dodd-Frank (SEF), and EMIR Counterparty identification.
Going beyond FX
Whisperer goes beyond FX to cover equities, energy, rates, and agriculture and through our futures products. It also integrates natively with ION’s comprehensive FX product suite.
MarketFactory provides everything you need, so your traders can focus on pricing, hedging, and generating alpha.
