Fortex Launches Cross-Symbol STP to Enable Smarter Gold Trading
As gold price reaches historic highs and trading volumes continue to surge, brokerages face a growing challenge: how to efficiently balance client demand for special gold instruments, fast execution and robust risk control. To address this gap, Fortex introduces Cross-Symbol STP, a new feature available on Fortex 7 trading platform and Fortex Liquidity Hub. The feature supports MT4/MT5, FIX API, and multi-platform environments.
In Asian markets, traders increasingly seek gold bar in kilogram products, commonly traded as RKG/CNH. However, liquidity for RKG/CNH remains limited, with few venues offering sufficient depth, competitive pricing, and reliable execution. This feature allows brokerages to automatically hedge trades in one symbol against a related, more liquid instrument, turning limited liquidity into a smarter hedging strategy.
For example, when a trader places an RKG/CNH order, Cross-Symbol STP automatically hedges the gold portion by converting it to the more liquid XAU/USD market. At the same time, the USD/CNH currency exposure can be handled according to the broker’s strategy, either retained within the platform, automatically hedged, or managed manually, giving full flexibility and precise risk control. An integrated auto-hedging mechanism ensures precise sizing between symbols, maintaining low-latency execution and accurate pricing even during market volatility.
By using this feature, traders experience fast execution with minimal slippage, consistent pricing, and a professional trading experience aligned with institutional standards. Brokers gain access to deeper markets for effective hedging, flexible residual FX risk management, improved capital efficiency, and reduced operational friction. By decoupling execution quality from the liquidity constraints of niche instruments, brokers gain greater control over risk and profitability.
Cross-Symbol STP is fully integrated into Fortex’s infrastructure, operating seamlessly within existing risk, margin, and liquidity workflows. It allows firms to hedge intelligently at the portfolio level, reduce exposure to volatility, safeguard profits, and optimize operational efficiency, all without increasing system complexity.
As gold trading expands globally and across product formats, Cross-Symbol STP provides a practical, production-ready solution for meeting trader's demand for kilogram gold products while maintaining disciplined risk management and execution quality.
