With Reg NMS-compliant connectivity to more market centers than simply the Reg NMS-required destinations, OES MarketGroup® offers more opportunities to find the right price. OES offers a direct, unrestricted link to all major U.S. equity markets, as well as many dark pools of liquidity. You can fully control your liquidity access and anonymously “piggy-back” our high-speed linkages in order to freely seek best prices without market-entry barriers.

Seamless Integration

We integrate our systems and market-center network into our clients’ trading systems for one-stop connectivity and trading solutions. With OES, you can also satisfy the order protection obligations of Reg NMS by routing through us to various market centers displaying best inside markets.

Our proprietary, fully electronic technology platform is designed for efficiency and features advanced technology and an open architecture. Our trading engine and support systems are entirely broker- and destination-neutral and utilize the Financial Information Exchange (FIX), without being FIX-dependent. That makes our technology remarkably flexible so that it functions with almost any other trading platform or protocol without impacting speed or reliability.
