XBook ECN
The powerful Fortex XBook matching engine works as an ECN, representing each trader’s order in the interbank market to match with the best liquidity available. Fortex has access to several superior liquidity sources that are not available to the public market. Our unique algorithm can find this hidden liquidity, enabling traders to improve pricing on large orders.
