Professional Direct Market Access



Benchmarq operates under the core tenet that all traders are not created equal, taking a platform neutral approach to software. Our traders can currently choose from two of the leading Direct Market Access (DMA) trading platforms in the industry: Sterling Trader Pro and Lightspeed Trader.


Sterling Trader® Pro is a multi-purpose front-end trading platform that is equipped with a list of distinctive features. These features were specifically designed with the input of experienced professional traders, to assist trading professionals who work with the rapidly moving electronic markets. Sterling TraderR Pro offers direct electronic access to all of the exchanges and ECNs, and is suitable for trading operations of all sizes. Programmable keys for fast order entry allow for instantaneous action against any change-of-market conditions. The load order entry features greatly reduce the time required for order entry. The trading results
will be readily accessible using the Position Summary and Trading Monitor windows with data updated instantaneously to meet the needs of the individual traders. Routing of orders to different markets is controlled through smart destination preference settings. Since the Sterling TraderR System operates on standard computer infrastructure using Microsoft Windows and Intel technology, this product can be easily integrated with an existing in house network. Professional trading firm will have full control over system components. This approach guarantees the fastest possible access to the electronic markets and exchanges.


Lightspeed Trader delivers a feature-rich direct market access trading system to the active trading community as well as to anyone who demands the highest quality market data and consistent performance. Traders of all experience levels can easily design and customize layouts and trading rules to best fit their trading needs and styles. Whether you are a keyboard trader, a point and click trader, or a combination of both, we've got you covered. With multiple home screens and Lightspeed Trader Charts, trading equities, options, and futures from a single platform has never been easier.
