Investment Technology Group launches ITG Dark Algorithm in Europe


 

Rob Boardman, Head of Algorithmic Sales, ITG: "Combined with POSIT’s unique block liquidity pool, ITG Dark Algorithm has the ability to optimise execution performance."

Investment Technology Group has announced the addition of ITG Dark Algorithm® to the ITG Algorithms™ suite of trading tools in Europe.

ITG Dark Algorithm provides access to multiple dark venues – both POSIT®, ITG’s suite of crossing products, and third-party’s (MTFs* and broker pools).

ITG Dark Algorithm seeks out hidden liquidity in the “dark” universe with minimal information leakage and provides execution inside the bid/offer spread. ITG’s proprietary anti-gaming logic is embedded, allowing traders to search for alternative liquidity without having to micro-manage orders. Traders can dynamically adjust their level of participation, depending on the degree of urgency required. In addition, clients can access the diverse, high quality liquidity available in the POSIT suite.

Rob Boardman, Head of Algorithmic Sales for ITG in Europe, comments: “Experience, and ITG’s latest research, has demonstrated that trading using dark liquidity has less impact on price than interacting with displayed liquidity. Combined with POSIT’s unique block liquidity pool, ITG Dark Algorithm has the ability to optimise execution performance. However, even in dark pools, traders need protection against gaming and information leakage in order to preserve execution quality. The introduction of the ITG Dark Algorithm reflects the ongoing evolution of electronic trading in the newly fragmented European marketplace and we are focused on providing clients with sophisticated tools to help them navigate the marketplace seamlessly and trade more efficiently.”
