The TRADE 59 - Q1 2019 | Page 23

[ T R A D E T E C H F X U S 2 0 1 9 ] In February The TRADE flew across the pond to Miami for the TradeTech FX US 2019 conference, a two-day event dissecting the most pressing issues to both US and European foreign exchange (FX) market participants. The evolving and increasingly important role of technology within FX trading was the focus for speakers and presenters across the event, with the rise of algorithmic trading and the balance be-tween hi- and low-touch trading, the importance of pre-trade data analytics and transaction cost analysis, and the ongoing threat of consolidation among an over-saturated FX trading venue market all up for discussion. The TRADE presents the best of its coverage from the event, by John Brazier & Hayley McDowell. Issue 59 // TheTradeNews.com // 23
