ANONYMITY
Your algorithmic orders flow through a segregated process
REDUCED FOOTPRINT
We apply logical decision-making to reduce signalling in the market and we utilise a variety of liquidity sources to protect the confidentiality of your order.
ESTABLISHED ALGORITHMS
We use the same algorithms in the execution and hedging of our own market making books, and are continually refining them
TRANSPARENCY
In the post trade process, you will benefit from a detailed Transaction Performance Analysis for total transparency

The Nightjar is a stealthy strategy, used when discretion is more essential than speed
The Nightjar algorithm inputs passive orders into the market (spread into different liquidity pools*) and aims for the highest level of discretion. It takes liquidity when opportunities arise
Used when discretion is more essential than speed
Built to replicate standard FIXING benchmarks
Used to vary intervals and avoid detection in the market
Used when speed is more essential than stealth
TWAP+ is an algorithm that allows you to trade along a predefined scheduled profile to get an average price over a time interval
The functionality introduces a camouflage mode which allows you to randomly vary intervals and help avoid detection in the market
The Falcon is a pro-active strategy, used when speed is more essential than stealth
As soon as a certain spot limit is reached, the Falcon algorithm targets several liquidity pools, seeking to execute your order as quickly as possible without leaving any visible trace
The Lyrebird is an algorithm built to replicate standard FIXING benchmarks, allowing you to be active in themarket during the fixing window.
A very detailed transaction cost analysis (TCA) to assess execution performance.
As an option, the clients may receive an independent report from BestX, the leading third-party TCA provider for FX.
Real- time pricing and execution advisory 24 hours a day, 5 days a week
