Having selected Eflow’s TZ Platform, FXCM will be able to monitor any potential market abuse or manipulation alongside Eflow’s powerful case management tool, which allows users to escalate and manage alerts raised within the system. TZ is an exception driven platform which aims to work in the background only bringing up alerts that fall outside the users defined parameters.
Eflow’s automated solution covers many of the market abuse alerts defined by ESMA and the FCA, which include tests such as spoofing, layering, wash trading, front running, marking the open/close, insider trading and trading ahead of the news. FXCM will also take advantage of TZ’s flexible reporting functionality, which allows users to build and schedule customs reports.
“FXCM provides world-class services to clients globally, and we are proud they have selected TZ for their market abuse, best execution and trade surveillance,” said Ben Parker, CEO at Eflow. “We look forward to a flourishing relationship and supporting them in the ever changing regulatory landscape’’.
Brendan Callan, CEO at FXCM, comments: “We serve clients in multiple global regions, who trade in a variety of different time zones 24 hours a day. It is crucial that we can gain effective insight into customer trading patterns for risk management and compliance purposes. Eflow is a market leader in this respect; integrating its TZ Platform will allow FXCM to enhance our current strengths and ability to detect anomalies in behaviour, such as fraudulent trading or market abuse.”
