FX and digital assets institutional brokerage GCEX Group has announced the release of two new price feeds specifically designed for brokers who aggregate: XplorSkew and XplorSkewPlus. The feeds focus on enhancing spreads and optimising performance for aggregating brokers in the FX and precious metals markets.
GCEX said it has engineered the new price feeds to address key challenges brokers face in the current liquidity environment. Skewing plays a critical role in maximising the benefits of aggregation by compressing post-aggregation spreads to increase competitiveness and profitability. XplorSkew and XplorSkewPlus have been designed specifically to promote skews, offering brokers a distinct advantage.
Jonathan Brewer, Chief Revenue Officer at GCEX said,
“Aggregation allows brokers to take advantage of price skews, which lead to tighter spreads and greater value. For instance, a spread that is 4 pips wide but skewed in such a way that either the bid or the offer is at the market mid or better is more valuable to an aggregator than a 10x tighter spread of 0.4 pips with no skew.”
As liquidity providers grow more cautious of the risks associated with alpha leakage — signaling their positioning to the market — they have become increasingly reluctant to show skews. This makes GCEX’s latest offering particularly timely, providing brokers with an edge at a time when much of the market is moving in the opposite direction.
XplorSkew and XplorSkewPlus offer aggregating brokers the ability to access better pricing dynamics, positioning GCEX as a leader in the competitive FX and precious metals markets.
Lars Holst, CEO & Founder of GCEX added,
“We are excited to bring this product to market, adding value to our clients at a time when liquidity providers are pulling back on showing skews. These price feeds help brokers compress spreads and optimise their trading strategies.”
