A method and a system for facilitating international securities trading include receiving market data specified in the local currency of a market center. The system includes a central platform that provides foreign executable currency quotes, which can be used to convert the market center's central limit order book into multiple foreign currencies. Orders specified in a foreign currency are converted to the local currency and placed with the market center. When two orders are matched, the system handles execution of a foreign exchange (FX) portion of the order based on the best FX quote provided by an FX liquidity provider, locked in at the time of receipt of the order.
