KCx Joins Forces with FlexTrade to Bring AI-Powered Analytics
FlexTrade Systems and Kepler Cheuvreux have partnered to bring KCx’s proprietary analytics directly into FlexTrade’s AI assistant, FlxAI. The announcement was made on May 12, 2025, ahead of the TradeTech Europe event in Paris.
What’s New in This Integration
Users can access KCx’s analytics suite through FlxAI using simple natural language. FlexTrade’s OEMS and EMS platforms can answer queries like “What’s the anticipated closing volume according to KCx?” or “What does KCx think the volatility will be today?” instantly. This makes sophisticated data easy to access and understand during active trading.
How It Works
FlxAI converts user questions into API commands. These are sent to KCx, which processes vast amounts of structured data — timestamps, prices, venues, and order types. The results are returned to FlxAI and delivered to users as clear, readable narratives. These summaries explain key trading factors such as slippage drivers, venue efficiency, and hidden transaction costs.
AI-Driven Feedback Loop
KCx’s analytics engine adapts in real-time. It constantly learns from new market conditions and refines insights. This feedback loop ensures traders receive up-to-date, context-aware analysis.
Where to See It Live
This integration will be demonstrated live at TradeTech Europe. On May 13, attendees can join the roundtable sessions at Track C during the Buy-Side Innovation Day. From May 14–15, live demos will be available at Booth 36 (FlexTrade) and Booth 58 (KCx) during the Main Conference.
Benefits for Traders
This integration will offer these benefits:
Faster Access to Market Insights
Traders can now get answers like expected closing volume or market volatility instantly using simple questions. It cuts down the time spent digging through dashboards or spreadsheets.
Better Decision-Making
FlxAI helps traders understand slippage, venue quality, and trading costs clearly by translating raw KCx data into plain-language summaries. It supports quicker, more informed trade choices.
Reduced Manual Effort
Users get automated, ready-to-use insights directly in their existing trading systems. They don’t have to manually analyze market data or requesting reports.
Smarter Use of AI
FlxAI learns from market changes and adjusts responses. So, traders receive context-aware insights that stay relevant.
Future Access to More KCx Intelligence
Once KCx’s own AI agent goes live, FlxAI will be able to pull in even more proprietary data and working order updates, offering deeper insight through a single query.
Live Demonstration Opportunities
Traders attending TradeTech Europe can see the tool in action before deciding to adopt it, which helps assess practical value in real-world workflows.
