Thomson Reuters today published operational procedures for trading protocols on its FXall platform, following consultation with the industry.
The procedures announced today include the codified Provisory Liquidity Liquidity The term liquidity refers to the process, speed, and ease of which a given asset or security can be converted into cash. Notably, liquidity surmises a retention in market price, with the most liquid assets representing cash.The most liquid asset of all is cash itself.· In economics, liquidity is defined by how efficiently and quickly an asset can be converted into usable cash without materially affecting its market price. · Nothing is more liquid than cash, while other assets represent The term liquidity refers to the process, speed, and ease of which a given asset or security can be converted into cash.

The protocol is meant to enable liquidity consumers and providers to make informed trading decisions based on transparent and measurable criteria. A similar protocol was introduced at the same time by Hotspot, the institutional FX market owned and operated by BATS Global Markets.
“The new rules aim to encourage higher standards of behaviour by offering venue rules which are consistently and transparently managed to the highest standard,” said Phil Weisberg, global head of FX, Thomson Reuters. “After a client consultation period, we have finalized a robust set of standards for both our RFQ and Streaming Price trading protocols, where participants trade on a disclosed, relationship basis, as well as our Order Book platform, where participants trade anonymously using either firm or Provisory Liquidity.”
The final procedures announced today include changes based on market feedback including tighter Offer To Deal response times. A multi-dealer platform, the FXall platform incorporates liquidity from Thomson Reuters' anonymous ECN, as well as allowing customers to integrate relationship-based pricing.
