Using AI tools, need to figure out what what AI is good at (rather than everywhere), like working with text datasets/unstructured data etc. @TradeTechFX Akshay Padmanabha, Ed Tostanoksi & Lee Ferridge

Nik Bhatia discussing bitcoin, noting it responds to global macro, doesn’t behave as a standalone asset, behaves like a risk asset (despite the narrative to the otherwise) @TradeTechFX

Asset allocation panel, people are adjusting their USD hedge ratios, valuations tough to trade on timing (eg JPY undervalued for ages, CHF overvalued etc) @TradeTechFX

Discussing supply chains, tariffs & capital flows on global macro, bullish EM (but more a sell US story?), EM still has high real yields, tariffs did not help USD etc. @TradeTechFX

Discussion on FX market structure bifurcation/basis between FX spot/futures could widen during crisis (as has been seen in gold), use of deep learning for market making could concentrate liquidity to those providers who can spend on this @TradeTechFX

Oxford Style Debate on USD as reserve currency, audience poll suggests 81pc think USD sell off is a blip and won’t affect USD reserve status @TradeTechFX

Iro Tasitsiomi @TRowePrice discussing AI in asset management, really great talk, with some nice statistics on take up on buy side, total spending on AI etc @TradeTechFX

Capital markets in 2026, US growth likely to stay strong (although not universal view from panel - possibly talk of stagflation), diversification away from US, will see less cuts from Fed than priced @TradeTechFX

Discussion of FX view, the Fed and more with Lee Ferridge and Dori Levanoni, thoughts that USD taking a breather, rather than massive downtrend, GBP has uncertainty premium etc @TradeTechFX

Best Execution panel @TradeTechFX, important of collecting data for buy side (eg from streaming quotes), still some struggle with doing large EMFX sizes, qualitative aspect of broker scorecards

Opening session at @TradeTechFX on automation/AI in FX trading.. things are changing! With Yudhveer Chaudry @BlackRock & Janet Dawson, GFMA

𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇 𝐅𝐗 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 I’m looking forward to attending 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐗 𝐔𝐒𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔, which consistently brings together the 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬. The event attracts 𝟔𝟎𝟎 𝐛𝐮𝐲-𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬, including asset managers, central banks, corporates, hedge funds, and pension funds, alongside sell-side exchanges and vendors. It’s also a great opportunity to educate FX participants on the benefits of trading 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐃𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬, which are quoted in 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐅𝐗 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬 (𝐔𝐒𝐃/𝐌𝐗𝐍 — 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐌𝐗𝐍 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞 $𝟏.𝟎𝟎 𝐔𝐒𝐃 𝐃𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫). and are easier for FX traders and local market participants to understand.

Not really... Banks' drinks/networking events are better

They invited and paid for it so I wouldn't say no to free flights and accommodation

I'd rather staple the end of my d*ck to a table than go to that.

In Miami for the @TradeTechFX conference. Anyone around?
