Trade via Talos

If you already use Talos as your trading platform, you can access XFX liquidity directly through the Talos UI or API — without building a direct integration with XFX.

This guide walks you through how to get set up and start trading with XFX on Talos.

How it works

XFX is available as a dealer on the Talos Provider Network. Once onboarded and credentialed, you can request quotes, execute trades, and manage orders through Talos — just as you would with any other liquidity provider.

• Pricing, liquidity, and trading hours are the same as trading via the XFX API
• Settlement follows the same Delivery-versus-Payment model
• Supported currency pairs and minimums are listed in Supported Currencies

📘

The only difference is how you connect — instead of integrating directly with XFX APIs, you trade through Talos and XFX handles pricing, execution, and settlement behind the scenes.

Step 1: Complete onboarding with XFX

Before you can trade via Talos, you must be onboarded as an XFX customer. During onboarding, XFX will:

• Collect business information and complete KYB (Know Your Business) checks
• Provision your XFX account
• Set up your trading configuration (spreads, currency pairs, limits)
• Whitelist your settlement accounts as Trusted Accounts

⚠️

Onboarding is required even if you already have a Talos account. XFX must approve you as a customer before you can access XFX liquidity on any platform.

To start onboarding, contact [email protected].

Step 2: Add XFX as a dealer credential in Talos

Once XFX confirms your onboarding is complete, you can add XFX as a liquidity provider in Talos.

1. Log in to your Talos dashboard
2. Navigate to Credentials (under your account or settings)
3. Click Add Credential
4. Select XFX from the dealer dropdown
5. Enter the credential information provided by XFX during onboarding
6. Save and confirm the connection

💡

If you don't see XFX in the dealer dropdown, reach out to your Talos account team or contact XFX at [email protected] — we'll coordinate with Talos to enable the integration.

Step 3: Configure your trading setup

Once XFX is added as a credential, configure your Talos environment for trading:

Set up your symbols

• Go to your Talos trading dashboard
• Add the currency pairs you want to trade (e.g., USD/MXN, USDT/MXN, USD/USDT)
• These must match the Supported Currency Pairs available through XFX

Enable XFX as a Market Account

• In the New Order or RFQ form, you'll see available liquidity providers listed
• Enable XFX as a market account
• To trade exclusively with XFX, click the Only button next to XFX in the provider list

Step 4: Start trading

You can trade with XFX on Talos via the UI or the Talos API.

Trading via the Talos UI

1. Open the New Order / RFQ form
2. Select your currency pair and input the amount and side (BUY or SELL)
3. Select XFX as the liquidity provider — or click on XFX's bid/offer price listed below the provider name
4. Submit the order
5. Track your order in the Orders Blotter — view executed, cancelled, or expired orders and review order history for specific time periods

Trading via the Talos API

1. Submit orders programmatically through the Talos API
2. Specify XFX as the target market when routing orders

Step 5: Settlement

Settlement follows the same process as trading directly with XFX:

1. Execute a trade — the order becomes a transaction awaiting settlement
2. Send your deposit to XFX settlement details (available in the XFX web dashboard)
3. Include the transaction ID in your payment reference for automatic matching
4. Payout is triggered automatically once XFX detects and matches your deposit

For full details, see the Settlement Model.

⚠️

Important:

Use only accounts whitelisted as Trusted Accounts with XFX. Deposits from non-whitelisted accounts will be rejected or delayed.

Monitoring and reconciliation

You have two options for tracking your trades:

We recommend using Talos for day-to-day order management and the XFX dashboard for settlement tracking, reporting and reconciliation.
