Award Reuter FX Workflow Solution – TRTN STP

Winning Reuters’ 2018 FX Workflow Solutions Award sparks immense professional pride, particularly for pioneering our non-FIX STP protocol – bank’s first in Financial Information exchange and automation. When developing the TRTN(renamed as RTNS now)-based solution for forex Spot and NDFs. Implementing the RTNS parser demanded meticulous efforts – decoding fixed-width field structures from standard format, aligning timestamp conventions across time-zones, and rebuilding validation logic from scratch and send to the backend bookkeeping system. Our solution achieved 97.6% straight-through processing for all spot deals which save lots of man hour and reduce human errors from 3.7% to 0.02%

Personally, this award represents technical maturation; my 2018 attempts at FIX alternatives crashed from over-engineering, but this success came through disciplined minimalism.  What excites me most isn’t the trophy, but how TRTN has become our gateway to emerging markets. We’ve since adapted the framework for rounding swap,  standard forex derivatives – proving robust solutions sometimes wear vintage clothes. This honor belongs to our project team who turned archival documents into living code, and to the management whose decide to adopt this solution. Tomorrow’s exchange information breakthroughs might just emerge from yesterday’s blueprints.
