New trading platform

The London Metal Exchange (LME) is embarking on a programme of work to build a new trading platform. Part of a wider piece to refresh our trading infrastructure, the key outputs will be:

A new electronic trading platform
New GUI for trading and administrative functions
New FIX and binary interfaces
An associated upgrade of LMEsource

Our aim is to improve the LME’s electronic markets and better meet the evolving needs of the physical metals and financial trading communities.

The programme of work is designed to make the trading platform more performant and more accessible. We are adding more functionality and an all-new onscreen options market – all on state-of-the-art and scalable technology.

We are also building a new web-based GUI and standardising our market data offering.
