BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Luminex Trading & Analytics LLC, a buy side owned trading venue delivering low cost and more efficient trading, today announced that it has been named Best Emerging Equity Trading Platform by Markets Media at the fifth-annual Markets Choice Awards, which were held at the Edison Ballroom in New York City on April 19.
