Fx Spot Stream Liquidity Provider Banks

 

FXSpotStream will support all currency pairs that our Liquidity Providers will Stream


NDF and NDS – Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) and Non-Deliverable Swaps (NDS) differ from regular forward and swap products in that the underlying currencies are not exchanged, instead the trades are cash settled in the primary currency, typically USD, although other currencies are sometimes used as well.

 

FXSpotStream is one of the few services that allows clients fully disclosed NDF and NDS streaming of prices. Clients have the option of accessing both NDF and NDS products via one or both of the execution types available on FSS (Streaming and/or RFS) for standard tenors as well as broken dates with FXSpotStream’s 15 Liquidity Providers.

 

A wide range of NDF/NDS currency pairs are already supported on the Service, typically Asian and South American currency pairs. However, with FSS technically able to support any currency pair that our LPs support, we welcome inquiries about additional pairs. The sales team at FXSpotStream is available to discuss specific requirements and how we can help enhance your NDF/NDS trading experience.

ACCESS THE ENTIRE ALGO SUITE OF THE FSS LPS VIA A SINGLE API AND OVER THE GUI

 
  • 70+ Algos, 200+ Parameters
  • API Access
  • GUI Access Available
  • Connect Once
  • Never Charged a Fee By FSS
  • Access to Banks Analytics Tools
  • Support for both Spot and NDF Algos
  • Support for Benchmark Fixings and Resting Orders

 

CLIENTS WILL NOT BE CHARGED A FEE BY FSS

 

FSS does not charge clients a fee to access the Algos or use Allocations of any of its LPs. Any fee an LP may charge for access to their Algos or Allocations functionality will be handled directly with the LP

 

 

ASSIGN PRE- AND/OR POST-TRADE ALLOCATIONS

 

Support for Pre-Trade Allocations in both RFS and ESP Protocol. Post-Trade Allocations are limited to those clients pre-approved by their LPs

Allocations can either be implemented by the client or through an OMS or third-party vendor

 

NO ADDITIONAL NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE OR CONNECTIVITY REQUIRED

 

Clients seeking to access the Algos of the FSS LPs do not need to add any additional network infrastructure, connecting in the same way as they do today - accessing a normalized API or GUI through a single FIX connection that provides access to the Algos offered by multiple LPs

 

24/5 GLOBAL SUPPORT

 

Dedicated regional support is available from the open of the Service and following the close of the Service. Regional support available from within the US, Europe and Asia, including a local Tokyo support staff fluent in Japanese
