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.
