LMAX Group has announced a new technology upgrade to its MetaTrader 5 offering, confirming it has integrated MetaQuotes’ Ultency Matching Engine into its institutional trading setup to improve execution speed, stability and connectivity for clients accessing LMAX liquidity through MT5.
The London-based cross-asset exchange said the move will allow brokers and institutional users trading via MT5 to route orders through Ultency, MetaQuotes’ ultra-low latency matching and aggregation system built for enterprise-grade liquidity management, trade execution and risk controls.
The companies said the integration is designed to strengthen performance across MT5 by supporting high-speed order processing, improved system resilience and easier scalability as volumes grow.
“Integrating MetaQuotes’ Ultency Matching Engine enhances the existing seamless functionality our broker and institutional clients expect across our trading venues. It strengthens execution quality, improves performance and enables clients to trade effortlessly across the full suite of LMAX products — including our expanding range of perpetual futures — offering a substantial market opportunity for institutions. We’re pleased to bring this level of sophistication directly into the MT5 environment,” said Jenna Wright, Managing Director, Digital Assets at LMAX Group.
The announcement also comes as LMAX continues to expand its digital asset product line. LMAX said it handles more than $40 billion in daily spot FX and digital asset flow, and has been increasing its focus on crypto derivatives in response to institutional demand. In recent months the exchange has added new perpetual futures contracts, including 19 additional tokens, following the launch of leveraged crypto perpetuals last September.
MetaQuotes positioned the deal as part of a wider push to bring more institutional-grade infrastructure into the MT5 ecosystem, particularly as demand grows for faster execution and deeper connectivity across multi-asset venues.
“We are delighted to welcome LMAX Group into the Ultency ecosystem. Their reputation for delivering transparent, high-performance liquidity aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing institutional-grade trading technology. This integration enables MT5 participants to access faster execution, deeper liquidity and greater operational resilience. Together with LMAX, we share a vision for a more efficient, scalable, and technologically robust environment for institutional trading,” said Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes.
