With the release of Order Splitting, Refinitiv’s FXall platform further empowers buy-side traders to minimize the market impact of their FX trades.

Refinitiv, an LSEG company, has launched Order Splitting on its FXall trading platform, a workflow solution that provides greater flexibility and control over the staging and execution of FX trades. Order Splitting enables traders to split one order into multiple smaller orders that can be traded using different execution methods and across multiple liquidity providers.

As buy-side participants in the FX market grow more sophisticated, they seek smarter workflow solutions that allow them to net and manage their orders before executing them in more cost-effective ways. With the greater flexibility granted by Order Splitting, traders can split an order into multiple smaller orders that can be traded using the execution methods most likely to minimize market impact and reduce spread costs  – whether traditional request-for-quote or more advanced algorithmic strategies.

With Order Splitting traders also have more flexibility to adapt their FX execution to changing market conditions. For example, if warranted by price deterioration, they can cancel the execution of an algo order that is already in-flight and immediately execute the remaining unfilled balance via RFQ, securing the best price from a panel of liquidity providers.

“The flexibility of a trader’s order staging and execution workflow is critical to execution quality,” said Jill Sigelbaum, head of Refinitiv FXall.  “The management of market impact and information leakage during the trading process continue to be top-of-mind for the industry, and with Order Splitting we are giving buy-side traders additional tools to achieve their objectives. This is another milestone in our delivery of solutions that empower traders to make smarter trading decisions and minimize execution costs”.
