FlexTrade Systems has integrated the pre-trade transaction cost analysis (TCA) data from IHS Markit into its FlexTRADER ex*****on management system (EMS) to streamline buy-side workflows.

Through the API integration, the data sets are now available to traders directly through their EMS order blotter to improve trading decisions and reduce the number of applications and systems necessary to execute.

FlexTrade said the integration was in response to growing demands from buy-side firms for more data and application interoperability to create a more seamless front-office technology ecosystem.
