Apex expands provider access
ISAM Securities Apex has integrated Match-Prime, giving brokers using the platform a connection to the provider's multi-asset liquidity. The report does not say when the connection went live, so firms will need to confirm its availability and onboarding arrangements directly with their contacts.
Match-Prime covers multiple markets
Match-Prime is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and supplies liquidity across more than 2,000 instruments. Its coverage includes equities and indices, foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals and cryptocurrency contracts for difference. The company combines liquidity from several institutional sources, offers tailored pricing and provides up to 10 levels of market depth. Vladimiros Spanos, Chief Operating Officer at Match-Prime, said the connection complements Match-Prime's capabilities and gives brokers more flexibility in how they access and manage liquidity.
Aggregation and routing remain central
Apex's aggregation and routing functions let brokers direct order flow across providers and compare Match-Prime's prices and available depth against other sources. The connection follows an earlier Apex integration with Evenox, previously known as LP Prime. That provider's link-up, first reported by Finance Magnates, made liquidity across more than 2,500 instruments available through the bridge.
Other connections have expanded Apex's network. CMC Markets' institutional pricing joined the bridge in June. ISAM Securities also said the network had added cryptocurrency venue Crossover Markets through a connection to its CROSSx order book. Elsewhere, MetaQuotes linked Vantage liquidity to its Ultency engine for MetaTrader 5 brokers in April. Your Bourse added Advanced Markets to its premium liquidity provider programme in June without a separate technology charge.
Figures across the connections
| Measure | Reported figure |
|---|---|
| Match-Prime instruments | More than 2,000 |
| Match-Prime market depth | Up to 10 levels |
| Evenox instruments | More than 2,500 |
What an operations team should check
Before routing live flow, teams should confirm which instruments and pricing configurations are enabled, how Match-Prime symbols map to internal identifiers, and whether market-depth data is available in the format their systems consume. They should also establish how Apex applies routing preferences when prices or depth differ between providers.
Operators should test order acknowledgements, rejects and any fallback behaviour, then confirm how fills and positions reconcile across the new connection and existing sources. The report does not specify onboarding steps, technical requirements or costs for the integration. Those points, along with reporting and support arrangements, need to be checked with iSAM Securities and Match-Prime.
