Connectivity
Symphony
Most FX options desks already live in Symphony. OptAxe brings the venue into the rooms your traders and sales already watch, so axes, requests, quotes and fills land where attention already is. It is a second window into the venue, open where you already work. As a monitored channel, surveillance is already in place.
Symphony is deployed, monitored and trusted
We built for the channels participants already use. OptAxe inherits the approvals, controls, and surveillance already in place. Your traders and sales get the venue in the conversation they are already in. Your technology and compliance teams get an integration built on tools they have already approved.
What you can do
Create & Manage your axes
Post an axe on the venue, then edit, pause or delete it at any time. Every change takes the same confirm step, so nothing reaches the venue until you have seen what OptAxe understood. No forms.
View external axes
Ask for external axes from across the venue, or your own internal axes, at any time and with whatever criteria you give it. The answer arrives in the room your desk already watches.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Create axes in the language you already use in Symphony. We parse it into a structured format to show to your counterparties.
Alert
Set up alerts on the criteria that matter to you, by pair, tenor and structure, and be told the moment a matching axe is listed or updated. Each user sets their own, and the alerts arrive in the rooms your desk already watches.
Trade
Request a price on an axe and conclude the trade directly in your OptAxe Symphony room. Market makers receive the request straight into their pricing systems.
Surveillance
Everything that passes through Symphony is treated exactly as if it had been entered in the web UI. Every interaction is validated and logged. Same Rulebook, same surveillance, same reporting. Nothing changes in how your compliance team looks at OptAxe.Setup
There is nothing to install and nothing to build. Your Symphony administrator allows external connections with OptAxe. Each user then registers in the room with a single command, which links their Symphony identity to their OptAxe profile.
Bring your own bot
If your firm already runs its own Symphony bots or workflow tooling, connect them directly to the venue through the OptAxe APIs.
Information security
Users see only what they are permissioned to see on the venue. Every permission, disclosure and entitlement in Symphony follows the venue rules exactly as it does in the web UI.
Ask about Symphony during onboarding
Enablement is handled with your Symphony administrator as part of connectivity setup.
