LMAX Exchange - delivering exchange quality execution

LMAX Exchange - the solution to current FX industry challenges

The LMAX MTF structure and exchange quality execution business model provide the solutions to two key industry challenges:

• Lack of precise, consistent and reliable FX trade execution
• LMAX Exchange order matching is on a strict price/time priority basis with no 'last look' or rejections, providing consistent & reliable trade execution.
