LumeFX: An Intelligent FX Technology PlatformWhile building Lucera, the team launched LumeFX, a distributed matching and aggregation system, with an adaptive smart order router (SOR). LumeFX was built to optimize your trading business in the spot FX market, while Lucera manages all the underlying infrastructure and networking. LumeFX uses an adaptive smart order router (SOR) to analyze trade order holding time and fill rates. This helps to identify unexecuted trades, actionable firm liquidity and facilitate high-quality, efficient executions. By distributing the application to each market participant LumeFX eliminates any kind of central matching server, so that financial exchanges can excel even in a market where data volumes are exploding.
