Automation is expanding across FX workflows, but traders remain divided on how far auto-execution can realistically go- and what should be automated next. This session examines how desks are extending automation for low-touch flow, setting thresholds, and building rules that reduce manual workload without compromising control. Speakers will discuss where automation improves outcomes, where it can introduce new risks, and why certain areas- including swaps and less liquid pairs- continue to lag. The panel will explore how desks monitor automated flow, when human intervention remains essential, and what traders expect from the next iteration of platform functionalities and tools. 

Leading asset managers discuss how automation, data and evolving trader workflows are transforming FX execution- from operational efficiency to better execution outcomes.

Today's EMS is becoming the central hub for achieving best execution: automating workflows across the entire trade lifecycle, reducing operational risk by eliminating manual touchpoints, and providing a complete audit trail. Beyond merely handling orders, the focus has shifted to enabling smarter, data-driven trading with measurable results.

• Automation with intent: How do granular rule-based automation, streaming executable pricing, and smart order routing reduce costs, mitigate risk, and free traders to focus on high-value activities?

• Data-driven execution: How do unique market data feeds and embedded analytics enable accurate price discovery, benchmarking, and automated best execution?

• Workflow innovation that matters: How are capabilities like Slice Orders, Streaming Swaps, advanced Swaps algos, Mixed Givens and Split Risk becoming more prevalent in a modern EMS?
