Electronic Trade Execution

Electronic trading solutions tailored to your needs.

Electronic trading options available to clients include direct market access, a range of state-of-the-art front-end trading platforms, as well as via our own messaging bridge.  MF Global also provides clients with online platforms and tools to view information relating to all aspects of risk management and to manage account information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Direct Market Access (DMA)

DMA allows MF Global clients to develop their own interface to the exchanges. Traditionally afforded to extremely speed-sensitive clients operating an electronic front end, this solution is available to clients that meet specific risk and financial requirements. We can assist with the initial setup and exchange configurations and even provide co-location facilities for clients requiring a place to house their infrastructure.
MF Global DMA co-location facilities are situated in the U.S., U.K., Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and India.

eTrading Platforms

MF Global hosts a variety of trading platforms for specific asset classes as well as for multiple asset classes. Systems include both vendor systems that we host and manage and proprietary systems developed by MF Global. 

These systems deliver global access to a breadth of exchanges for execution, market data, charting, and more. We manage the deployment of the back-end system architecture, exchange connectivity, and front-end support for these trading platforms, giving clients a single point of contact for exceptional customer support.
