CASE STUDY:
Pay for what you use, not for what you don’t.
A sell-side firm that managed its connectivity to key market centers wrestled with how to reach the centers where it sent less flow. It needed a solution without the expense and administrative headaches associated with managing telco connections. OES’s service bureau provided the ideal solution — cost-effective, fast and affordable connections.
MARKETAXIS SMART ROUTING
The MarketAxis smart router uses sophisticated logic to instantly route market and limit orders — in compliance with Reg NMS — to the exchange, ECN or market center with the best “top of book” price. MarketAxis liquidity destinations exceed Reg NMS requirements by integrating proprietary depth-of-book data from exchanges and ECNs, enabling more advanced routing and also seamlessly incorporating anonymous proprietary access to dark pools through OES Dark Gate.
Command and control
MarketAxis features a configurable control panel that lets you customize your routing hierarchy to optimize market-center pricing schemes, add optional route and routing rules, and establish self-help tolerance parameters.
