Barclays today announced the launch of new non-deliverable forwards (NDF) algorithms on the BARX electronic trading platform. The NDF algorithms are the latest addition to the BARX GatorTM algorithm suite for FX trading.
BARX GatorTM is Barclays electronic order execution channel which combines liquidity available on external venues with BARX principal liquidity. The channel now supports 1-month NDFs for multiple algorithms in seven Asian currency pairs; USDCNY, USDIDR, USDINR, USDKRW, USDMYR, USDPHP, USDTWD.
This new global offering is a direct result of strong client demand, particularly in Asia, to trade NDFs in the same way as deliverable currencies. The electronification of the NDF inter-bank market has created an ideal environment to launch NDF algorithms and improve liquidity.
