US-headquartered global financial technology and solutions provider, Markit, listed on the Nasdaq under ticker MRKT, today announced that its Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) data has been integrated into FlexTrade Systems' Execution management system (EMS) platform FlexTRADER EMS, according to an official announcement.

In addition, access will be provided to mutual customers of Markit and FlexTrade who can obtain detailed pre-trade data and post-trade analysis reports on the day after trades (T+1 basis) through a portal on Markit’s website.

The news follows just two days after FlexTrade announced that it selected RSRCHX for its institutional research that it made available on its FlexTRADER EMS product as reported by Finance Magnates.

We’ve implemented this in response to significant demand from our customers.
