Calyon Financial Launches Foreign Exchange Trading Platform

Chicago (ots/PRNewswire) -

Calyon Financial today announced the launch of its new online
foreign exchange trading platform, Calyon Financial FX Edge. The new
platform will provide customers with access to streaming liquidity
supplied from the world's leading foreign exchange institutions.

For trades executed via the platform, Calyon Financial serves as
counterpart to both the customer and the liquidity providers. This
allows customer trades to remain anonymous to the market, ensuring
pricing neutrality.

"We saw an opportunity to combine a leading technology solution
with the strength and expertise of a top institutional brokerage,"
said Max Smith, head of the firm's Foreign Exchange desk. "Calyon
Financial FX Edge gives traders the advantage of aggregated spot
prices from high quality sources, combined with our firm's skilled
customer service and solid balance sheet. The goal was to provide
greater depth of liquidity at a tighter spread than has been
previously available. A further benefit to our customers is that,
should one of our liquidity partners be unavailable, the others will
ensure continuity."

Calyon Financial FX Edge provides streaming spot prices in all
major currencies and gives traders the ability to use a "one-click"
browser-based system for fast market access.

Calyon Financial FX Edge features the ability for traders to
customize currency pairs and settings, set ticket size limits, and
configure the trade blotter to maximize efficiency. The platform can
also produce customized downloadable reports for ease of reporting
and control.

Customers benefit from the strength and market reputation of
Calyon Financial, a top FX broker. Calyon Financial, which does not
engage in proprietary trading, is backed by its AA rated parent bank,
Calyon S.A.

Calyon Financial developed the new platform in conjunction with
Integral, an industry leading provider of innovative, end-to-end
solutions to automate FX trading.
