About TraderTools

TraderTools provides technology solutions for the foreign exchange (FX) market, focusing on liquidity access and distribution. The company was co-founded in 1997 by President Yaacov Heidingsfeld. Before establishing the company, Heidingsfeld managed a private equity hedge fund that specialized in FX and had extensive experience in trading and software design.

The firm's core offering is a liquidity management platform that integrates pricing, dealing, order management, and execution for financial institutions that trade foreign currency. The platform is delivered as a fully-hosted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environment. TraderTools serves clients such as banks and brokerage firms, enabling them to create their own unique electronic liquidity streams and distribute them to hundreds of market participants through the company's Unique Liquidity Network™ (ULN).

A key product is PriceOn™, a pricing engine that allows users to become electronic liquidity providers. This module can be licensed as part of the full suite or integrated separately with other FX trading technologies. It employs AI-based algorithms for intelligent position management, risk management of client flows, and algorithmic price-making. The system aggregates liquidity from over 40 bank and non-bank providers and uses smart order routing to ensure access to the best price. The business model is based on licensing its technology to financial institutions.
