Algorithmic Toolkit<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of the firm\u2019s interest in technological development, Atom8 arrives on the market with its new Atom8 Trader Pro trading platform which is licensed from a software firm, which facilitates FX, CFD and spread betting as is often the case in the UK, however it also provides an algorithmic toolkit allowing institutional and private traders to interact in the same market.<\/p>\n The company has been co-founded by David Andrews who has assumed the position as CEO, and previously served as a commercial lawyer at JP Morgan where he worked within the cross-asset exotic OTC and securitized derivatives legal team.<\/p>\n David Andrews, CEO, Atom8<\/p>\n Speaking on the launch of the new ECN, Mr. Andrews confirmed to Forex Magnates that Atom8 will provide spread betting with raw spread, as well as FX\/CFD accounts, free automated algorithmic coding services for private clients, as well as customizable multi-currency PAMM facilities, FIX API and an anonymous multi-API-configured ECN access for institutions, with low latency connectivity.<\/p>\n Mr. Andrews considers that the new platform is intended to provide substantial enhancements to traditional liquidity arrangements for both institutional investors and private traders, and allows clients to place orders directly into the ECN pool, essentially acting as a market maker themselves, thus avoiding paying the spread.<\/p>\n Atom8 currently offers up to 50 currency pairs, as well as gold and silver, with spread only or commission only accounts, which can be traded via the desktop, as well as mobile and tablet-based platforms.<\/p>\n Spread Betting \u2013 Without The Spread<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAtom8 aims to be the broker that popularises and democratises automated trading in the UK and abroad.
