The Currenex service includes flexible, automated order functionality within both the ERFS (Enhanced Request for Streaming) and ESP™ trading options. Automating the order process improves trading efficiency and accuracy by eliminating errors (and potential disputes with counterparties), saving time (no need for phone confirmation that an order has been filled) and streamlining the confirmation process. Placing orders via Currenex enables complete trading records to be maintained electronically for ease of reporting and monitoring.

On the Currenex service, users can place Limit, At Best and Stop Loss orders exclusively with user-defined bank counterparties. ESP™ Limit Orders are filled automatically by the first counterparty bank to stream a price that matches the order.

For instance, the iceberg and hidden order types allow a trader to place a large order without alerting the marketplace of the true size of their order. With an iceberg order, you specify exactly how much of your order you want to display. With a hidden order, while your order is still in the market, no part of the order is visible to any of the market participants.
