Buy Side Day | 15th September

11:50 AM Trade Automation Panel: Advancing automation: How can you scale auto-execution and prioritise what to automate next to improve efficiency and control?

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.
