Andrew,

For your vendor shopping, local/regional Asian vendors have limited routing platforms and they all tend to only provide access to their local markets in their local language. So you'll probably end up with a global vendor who has Asian capabilities so you'll be looking at higher costs.

If you need to start trade soon, you may need to pay up to a vendor to get the front-end as well as connectivity to KSE executing brokers. If you have a little more time, then it's more sensible to buy a FIX engine and build the trading functionality yourself.

Hope this helps...
