Trading in FX (Part 2 of 3): Innovations and Trends

This second part looks look at some of the latest innovations and trends in the market and how firms are capitalizing on technology to give themselves and their customers a competitive advantage.

“In terms of connectivity, the whole market is much more responsive now than ever before. Firms have the ability to spin up connections to a destination or a customer in a matter of hours, as opposed to days, weeks or months. Onboarding is faster and flexibility is key. You and I might trade today, but we may not want to trade in three weeks, and then in six weeks we may re-establish ourselves. Software-defined networking gives market participants that kind of flexibility.”
