Receives Honor at Fifth Annual WSL Institutional Trading Awards 2016

GREAT NECK, NY, February 29, 2016 – FlexTrade Systems, Inc., a global leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems, today announced it has won the Best Technology Provider — Overall category at The Wall Street Letter Institutional Trading Awards 2016 ceremony, which was held at 583 Park Avenue in New York on February 23.

The WSL Awards are designed for brokers, exchanges and trading platforms operating within the institutional trading industry who have proved themselves over the course of the preceding year.

According to Vijay Kedia, President and CEO of FlexTrade, winning this award category is especially gratifying in that it recognizes the breadth and depth of FlexTrade’s trading solutions.  “When FlexTrade started in 1996, our single platform was the FlexTRADER EMS, which sought to level the playing field for the buy-side in trading equities.  Now our trading solutions have expanded to cover both the buy-side and sell-side, and globally handle multiple asset classes – equities, FX, options, futures and fixed income.”

Kedia continued: “And our solutions didn’t stay limited to the EMS.  We also offer OMS technology, state-of-the-art TCA, and advanced analytics, which covers predictive forecasting, execution strategy development and portfolio trade scheduling.  Combining all of these elements with unparalleled market access, multiple third-party integrations and a global footprint, you’ll appreciate why we’re honored by judging panel’s choice.”
