Quantitative Trader Man GroupMain Day 1 | 16th September
2:15 PM Options 2.0 Panel: Digitising FX options: Improving FX options execution: How can you navigate complex liquidity and evolving trading workflows to achieve better outcomes?
FX options remain one of the least electronified areas of FX, with pricing and workflow integration still heavily manual across most desks. Yet progress is accelerating: more consistent dealer pricing formats, wider use of electronic RFQ for vanillas, and early attempts to streamline ticketing and post-trade workflows are slowly shifting buy-side expectations.
This panel examines where tangible improvements are happening today, why certain steps- such as volatility handling, custom structures and risk warehousing- remain harder to electronify, and what “practical automation” actually looks like for a buy-side desk. Speakers will assess data limitations, fragmented liquidity, current platform constraints and what a realistic electronic/voice hybrid model could look like over the next few years.
