NEW YORK, October 26, 2015 – FlexTrade Systems, Inc., a global leader in multi-asset execution and order management systems, today announced its FlexTRADER EMS has won the “Best Front-Office Execution System” category at the Financial News 2015 Awards for Excellence in Trading & Technology ceremony, which was held at Victoria & Albert Museum, London, on Wednesday, October 21.

The winner is determined by the nominee with the highest percentage from the accumulated scores.
