FxPro Deploys Private Fiber Cross-connect to Ultency in Equinix LD4
FxPro has upgraded its trading infrastructure by deploying a dedicated physical cross-connect in Equinix LD4. It comes after the recent integration of MetaQuotes’ Ultency Matching Engine. It will improve execution quality for institutional clients trading on MetaTrader 5.
More on the Update
FxPro has installed a private, high-bandwidth fiber cross-connect inside the Equinix LD4 data center in London. This physical connection links FxPro’s core trading infrastructure with the MetaQuotes ecosystem. FxPro removes reliance on the public internet for order routing and execution by using a dedicated cross-connect.
Why Equinix LD4 Matters
Equinix LD4 is one of the world’s major financial data centers. Hosting the cross-connect within this facility ensures the shortest physical distance between trading infrastructure, liquidity, and matching systems. This setup supports sub-millisecond execution speeds critical for institutional and professional trading strategies.
Infrastructure Benefits
Ultra-low latency execution
The direct fiber connection within Equinix LD4 minimizes physical distance for trade orders. It enables consistently low-latency, sub-millisecond execution for institutional clients.
Improved security and stability
Private connectivity and dedicated addressing significantly reduce exposure to public internet risks. It lowers vulnerability to cyber threats and network instability.
Institutional-grade performance
Brokers and institutions accessing liquidity via Ultency benefit from faster execution, predictable performance, and deep liquidity within a controlled infrastructure environment.
Role of Ultency Matching Engine
Ultency Matching Engine is MetaQuotes’ solution for liquidity aggregation, order matching, and risk management. Liquidity providers can offer more competitive trading conditions with a dedicated cross-connect in place. Everything while brokers and institutional clients get direct access to these capabilities within MetaTrader 5.
