IT-Finance joins Interactive Data as FXstreet’s Rates&Charts provider

Posted on January 31, 2008 at 11:06 in Uncategorized by Francesc

Hi everyone

The office is boiling up today, everybody so busy replacing Netdania as a rates&charts software provider with Interactive Data and IT-Finance.

In a previous post on January 25th I already announced that Interactive Data would become not only our main feed provider of FX and Futures data but also a software provider through different formats as XML, java applets, flash and snapshots.

I also mentioned that we were in advanced conversations with a second software and data provider. Well, conversations ended well and we are signing up an agreement with one of the fast growing companies in the FX software field as the French company IT-Finance is.

IT-Finance is lead by Arnaud Trepat, a young entrepreneur that not only offers service to end users through their site prorealtime.com but also succesfully develops trading softwares for FX FDM’s.

IT-Finance already provides FXstreet.com with a java chart applet that is the most viewed chart page on FXstreet.com

This chart will be considerably improved not just by increasing pairs disclosed from 42 to 115, but also by offering features like saving, multiple charts, news on charts, 20 indicators including Doug Schaff’s STC, and more…

IT-Finance will also provide us with java applets rates including 115 fx symbols from the Swiss market maker Realtime Forex SA.

Realtime Forex SA was established in January 2000 as Switzerland’s first online market maker for foreign exchange. We at FXstreet.com have been using their feed in our Premium’s desktop software for Traders Visual Chart and we now want to use it in our open web site.

With this initiative, FXstreet.com should be the first FX site – as far as I know – offering rates from an interbank feed like Interactive Data’s - with prices from HSBC, RBoS, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citibank, Deutsche Bank or UBS - and from a top European market maker like Realtime Forex SA.

You will shortly notice how charts improve and incorporate new features as months go by. This will for sure represent an important improvement in terms of quantity and quality of the data we offer.

Hope we will have a smooth launching day tomorrow and you´ll be able to appreciate that things are moving for good.
