Othello Software announces a new liquidity partnership: Othello Bridge now connects with Advanced Markets, an institutional liquidity and Prime of Prime provider founded in 2006. Brokers running on Othello Bridge can now route pricing and execution directly to Advanced Markets through a certified, production-ready connection.
Who is Advanced Markets?
Advanced Markets is a Prime of Prime and prime brokerage provider founded in 2006. The firm delivers direct market access (DMA) liquidity, trade execution, and credit solutions to banks, brokers, hedge funds, and institutions worldwide, with offices spanning the US and the UK.
Its institutional liquidity network draws on a deep pool of Tier-1 banks, non-bank market makers, and ECNs, with best-bid and best-ask aggregation. On the execution side, Advanced Markets delivers consistently fast trade processing and low rejection rates, benchmarks that reflect the standards institutional clients expect.
Advanced Markets (UK) Ltd is authorized and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under Firm Reference Number (FRN) 777739 and serves clients qualifying for Professional or Eligible Counterparty status under FCA and MiFID rules.
What this connection delivers
Connecting a bridge to a liquidity provider sounds simple. Doing it well is where broker economics are decided. This integration brings the two layers together with a shared focus on speed and transparency.
Bank-grade pricing at the bridge level. Quotes sourced from Advanced Markets’ multi-provider network flow directly into Othello Bridge’s aggregation engine, where they can be combined with other feeds, filtered, and streamed to MT4, MT5, or Othello Trader in real time.
Millisecond order routing. Othello Bridge was engineered around low-latency execution. Paired with a counterparty built for speed, orders travel a short, predictable path from the trader’s click to the fill confirmation.
Depth for every trade size. Aggregated liquidity from Tier-1 banks, non-bank market makers, and ECNs means brokers can support both retail flow and larger institutional tickets without switching infrastructure.
Full transparency on every fill. Every order routed through Othello Bridge is recorded with its complete lifecycle: request, quote, execution, and confirmation. Combined with a DMA execution model, brokers get a detailed execution audit trail.
How brokers can go live
For brokers already running Othello Bridge, adding Advanced Markets as a liquidity provider is a configuration task, not a project. The connection is set up, tested against live pricing in a staging environment, and promoted to production once fills, spreads, and rejection behavior have been verified. New brokers can launch with Advanced Markets as a primary liquidity relationship from day one, alongside any other providers they choose to aggregate.
To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Advanced Markets is welcoming new FIX API clients who onboard before 30 December 2026 with no minimum monthly volume fees and data for the first 20 weeks. Brokers connecting through Othello Bridge can take advantage of this offer as part of their onboarding.
