Connectivity

Order Execution Algorithms are available through the Nordic Workstation and FIX.

Available Execution Strategies

The execution algorithms are integrated with smart order routing logics. Several different single and paired strategies are available.

VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) Pre-trade schedule based on historical volumes.

TWAP (Time Weighted Average Price) Executes desired quantity at a constant rate.

PVOL (Percentage Of Volume) Targets a user-defined participation rate.

IMSH (Implementation Shortfall) Minimizes risk-adjusted trading costs relative to the arrival price.

CLOS - (Close) Minimizes risk-adjusted trading costs relative to the closing price.

PNPR - (Performance Neutral Pair) Targets relative performance of execution at or better than a specified basis point spread between a pair of stocks.

SUPR - (SETUPPAIR) Used for pair trades where the trader wishes to buy one stock and sell the other making sure that the two amounts either net out evenly (SpreadLimit = 0), lock in a profit (SpreadLimit > 0) or trade at a known cost (SpreadLimit < 0).

SMRT Allows an IOC order to try to fill the order multiple times within 300 micro seconds.
