Is there any alternative to PrimeXM XCore? One that would satisfy the needs of a broker or liquidity provider like this well-known order management tool does? The answer is yes. In this post we will provide an overview of a liquidity aggregation solution that we have developed here at Takeprofit.
XCore allows forex market participants to manage their risks, regulate flow and control exposure in real-time, as well as report real-time and post trade to brokers, regulators and back-offices. XCore has a wide liquidity network of 250+ partners that allows it to provide an efficient and cost-effective exchange of liquidity and the support of multi-asset classes within the network.
Takeprofit Liquidity Hub is a similar order management and liquidity aggregation solution. It functions the same way and provides most of the features that XCore offers to the same audiences. It has a smaller liquidity network, which is represented by 50+ liquidity providers and wholesale brokers. Despite this fact, Takeprofit Hub offers some aggregation and tech support opportunities that XCore does not have.
Let’s have a closer look at the two solutions and compare their features.
