FlexTrade Integrates Symphony’s Communications System

Traders using FlexTrades algorithms and trading platforms now can have more seamless and secure communications right on their trading blotter.

FlexTrade, a provider of execution management systems, is giving traders the ability to communicate with others right on their trading blotter in a secure and compliant way thanks by integrating Symphonys proprietary messaging system onto its FlexTRADER EMS.

FlexTrades integration with Symphony allows traders to communicate and distribute content to both portfolio managers and brokers directly from their trading blotter. Communications can be initiated by the trader, or automatically based on a specific market event or situation.

Over the next few months, FlexTrades integration with Symphony will be expanded to include:

Search for information and research on a given instrument directly from the FlexTrade blotter

Fixed income liquidity discovery, inventory distribution and price negotiation

Capture chat in FlexTrades Transaction Cost Analysis tool (FlexTCA), to ensure all elements of the trading workflow are recorded for regulatory compliance
