Smart Order Routing Accelerator
Create Unique Proprietary Order Routing Strategies
Creating smart order routing strategies in today's environment is challenging. Diverse liquidity venues are increasingly available to traders (Multilateral Trading Facilities, the Exchanges, dark liquidity pools, internal crossing networks, to name a few) and choosing the right one to use for your trading strategies can be difficult. On top of that are the evolving regulatory demands of Europe’s MiFID and the U.S.'s Reg NMS for best execution. Packaged, commoditized smart order routing applications often won’t deliver what is needed in these conditions. Successful smart order routing – the kind that distinguishes you from the competition - requires unique order routing capabilities.
With the Progress Apama Smart Order Routing (SOR) Accelerator, traders can now create unique, proprietary order routing strategies that intelligently select from among many execution venues, both providing the competitive power of differentiated execution strategies, as well as the foundation to comply with regulatory demands for best execution.
