# Spark

LUSID's integration with Spark (formerly FlexTrade) captures orders, placements, and executions from the Spark EMS and stores them directly in LUSID. This keeps your EMS activity and your LUSID portfolio record in sync throughout the trading day, supporting both real-time operational oversight and end-of-day reconciliation.

> For this integration, LUSID uses FIX trading messages to communicate with the external system. To set up and use this integration, [follow this FIX trading integrations article](/v1/docs/fix-trading-integrations).
