FX looks to exploit the scalability benefits of cloud computing

Tim Carmody – CTO, IPC Systems – recently shared his insights on eForex, addressing the evolving landscape of FX trading and the role of cloud computing.

While he acknowledges the advantages of cloud solutions, he points out that many FX firms may not prioritize elastic computing for their core trading operations, where stability is essential, especially during volatile market conditions. However, Carmody highlights that the cloud’s flexibility can enhance on-demand services that support trade execution. He notes, “FX may be the poster child for hybrid computing,” as it draws from a diverse array of data sources—including political, economic, and weather information. With the integration of elastic computing and AI, firms can better harness and manage this wealth of information, ultimately improving their trading strategies.
