Deutsche Börse Group
Foreign
exchange trading platform 360T has integrated Quantitative Brokers' (QB) FX
algorithms into its trading system, expanding the algorithmic trading options
available to institutional clients. Both firms operate as subsidiaries of
Deutsche Börse Group.

FX Algorithm Capabilities
In response
to client demand, QB and
360T have partnered to bring QB's proven execution expertise to the Spot FX
market. This expansion introduces FX-optimized versions of its flagship
algorithms, “Bolt” and “Strobe”, designed specifically to account for the
unique market structure and liquidity dynamics of FX trading.
Strobe FX
enhances schedule-based execution for TWAP and VWAP benchmarks, while Bolt FX
is an implementation shortfall algorithm built to minimize execution costs
relative to arrival price.
Matt O’Hara, CEO of 360T Americas
“We are
delighted to announce this partnership with QB and are confident that providing
access to highly sophisticated FX algos from an independent specialist
provider, as additional tools alongside the broad range of bank offered algos
already available via 360T, will provide significant benefits to our diverse
and global client base,” said Matt O’Hara, CEO of 360T Americas.
Market
participants can now access these algorithms through 360T's infrastructure,
utilizing either disclosed or anonymous liquidity pools. The system allows
multiple counterparties to compete for execution, according to the companies.
QB,
established in 2008, has primarily operated in futures, U.S. Treasury, and
options markets. The firm developed the FX algorithms in response to client
demand, adapting its existing technology for currency market structure and
liquidity patterns.
David Kalita, CEO of QB
“Quantitative
Brokers is deeply committed to delivering enhanced value to our clients while
expanding our reach to a broader spectrum of market participants,” said David
Kalita, CEO of QB. “We are thrilled to bring our extensive expertise and proven
track record in developing state-of-the-art execution algorithms to the FX
market at a time when demand for such solutions is growing rapidly.”
In
contrast, Euronext FX’s Fastmatch experienced a slight decline in trading
activity. Total volume decreased from $613 billion in the previous month to
$609.9 billion, causing its ADV to drop to $27.7 billion. Despite this decline,
the figure remains higher than the previous year’s average daily volume of $25
billion.
Beyond
trading activity, 360T recently announced a partnership with Team Malizia, a
sailing team led by skipper Boris Herrmann. As Herrmann prepares for the
2024–2025 Vendée Globe, a solo, non-stop round-the-world race, Team Malizia
continues its commitment to climate action, scientific research, and ocean
education. The team is also set to compete in The Ocean Race Europe 2025.
Additionally,
in May 2024, 360T integrated its Swaps User Network (SUN) with Lucera, a
technology service provider. This integration is intended to expand 360T’s
reach among Lucera’s user base. The 360T SUN leverages an indicative streaming
mid-rate from the platform’s Swaps Data Feed (SDF) to help sell-side firms
facilitate grey-book risk exchange at mid-market rates.
