Fortex revolutionized trading in 1997 as the first independent asset trading system providing clients with direct, fair market access.

Since then, the company has continued to grow into the world's leading foreign exchange trading system, processing 500,000 currency transactions totaling US$12 billion per day for tens of thousands of traders around the world.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Fortex leverages the innovative culture, leading engineering talent and advanced technology of Silicon Valley to continuously provide customers with industry-leading services. With deep roots in Wall Street, Fortex has a detailed understanding of the needs of the market, institutions and traders. With network coverage in Asia, Fortex has helped boost the global trading market.

Soon after its launch, Fortex was able to process $3 billion in currency transactions per day. Since then, the company has continued to introduce new features to help clients succeed—including middleware, APIs, and terminal applications that provide rich trading information, analysis, and customized services for desktop, web, or mobile trading.

Today, traders, brokers, liquidity providers, fund managers, banks, hedge funds and investors around the world rely on Fortex to speed up trade execution and support complex trading strategies. The most successful currency trading companies, such as Macquarie Bank, Sun Hung Kai Financial Group, Advanced Markets Group, Pepperstone Group, and IBFX, all build their financial businesses on the Fortex system.

Fortex is headquartered in Redwood Shores, California, with offices in New York and Hong Kong. It will continue to support the development of multi-asset electronic trading markets in the future.
