SPOT Support

Whisperer Enterprise has LSEG SPT implementation but LSEG is not ready to certify SPT product. So strictly SPT support is for UAT only and not for PROD.

Latest Email confirmation from LSEG:

Dear valued customer,
 
We are writing to provide an update on LSEG’s FX venues and our long-term strategy to best meet your needs in the coming years. 
 
Since our last communication, we have reviewed our ongoing technology programmes and determined that we will deliver better outcomes for you by making some modifications to our approach.  
 
To outline: -

  • We will retain our existing Matching technology for Spot and Swaps. API users can continue to use their current API protocols. GUI customers will no longer need to carry out a mandatory upgrade, however, please do continue to migrate to Workspace for FX Trading which is the evolution of all of our FX Trading workflows.
     
  • Our FX Swaps Venue (Forwards Matching) will be enhanced via the introduction of a new credit engine and GUI capabilities. We will provide more information about these enhancements in due course.
     
  • We will continue to work with customers to grow our new NDF Matching Venue. Our Customer Development Service (CDS) environment remains available to conform APIs as part of the onboarding pathway.

Through these changes, our intention is to focus on delivering faster, incremental change in the areas most important to our customers. As always, if you have any questions regarding the changes, please contact your account manager.
 
Best regards,
James Pearson
Head of FX, LSEG

Trade Correct/Cancel

LSEG supports a standard TradeCancel and TradeCorrect workflow for SPOT trades and an offset Trade Correct/Cancel workflow for NDFs.

SPOT

For Spot trades, Clients will be notified of these in a separate ExecutionReport with ExecType = TradeCorrect or TradeCancel as appropriate.

Trade Correction/Cancellation may occur up to two trading days after the trade execution. 

Depending on the scenario, possible fields to be modified are listed below:

TradeCorrect

Second ExecutionReportRestatedFilledRestatedPartiallyFilled


TradeCancelInactive orderActive order

First ExecutionReportTradeCancelNewTradeCancelPartiallyFilled
Second ExecutionReportCanceledCanceledRestatedFilled

First ExecutionReport will indicate the canceled or reduced qty in LegLeavesQty.

Second ExecutionReport is sent to reflect the reduced or cancelled quantity in LegOrderQty.

                     The LegLeavesQty and LegCumQty of an active order will always add up to its LegOrderQty.

ExecRefID - Trade Correct/Cancel ExecutionReports ExecRefID matches with the ExecID of the trade that is being cancelled or corrected.

BodyPassThruKey TrdMatchID - TrdMatchID of the Trade Correct/Cancel ExecutionReport matches with TrdMatchID of the trade that is being cancelled or corrected.

SecondaryExecID - SecondaryExecID of the Trade Correct/Cancel ExecutionReport matches with the SecondaryExecID of the trade that is being cancelled or corrected.

NDF

For NDFs, as opposed to standard Trade Correct/Cancel workflow, LSEG will deliver new offset trades to adjust the positions as necessary. This is due to the fact that NDFs are always Cleared and LSEG cannot amend or cancel an already Cleared trade.

Offset TradeCancel

Clients will be notified of Trade cancellation in an ExecutionReport with:

Offset TradeCorrect

In case of Offset Trade correction, Clients will receive two ExecutionReports:
