TradeTech FX Europe 2023 Highlights

At TradeTech FX Europe 2023, attendees highlighted major shifts in FX trading:

• Electronification of derivatives trading, paired with a strong need for high-quality data.

• Greater focus on liquidity access and adapting investment strategies accordingly.

• Growing automation interest in FX swaps — though experts say the market isn’t ready for full algo rollout yet.

• Emphasis on clean, reliable data to enable auto-execution and support fair pricing.

• Debate around central-limit-order-books (CLOBs) for swaps and expanded use of transaction-cost analysis (TCA) in market infrastructure.

These trends reflect an industry increasingly geared toward improved efficiency, transparency, and accuracy in FX trading.
