Bloomberg Tradebook
Bloomberg’s B-Smart intelligently posts orders in the most active lit/dark venues using dynamic real-time market information and seeks to maximise exposure and market-sweeping ability. B-Dark seeks to minimise impact and maximise size by trading only with dark liquidity pools. The Auction Close/Open automates and optimises global open/close auction participation and allows market orders to be entered in every exchange and will queue orders so they can be entered at any time. Bloomberg’s Smart Close executes large orders using the day’s trading dynamics in both continuous trading and the closing auction to minimise impact. Smart ETF treats ETFs as a unique asset class and intelligently trades seeking optimal price improvement based on user specified urgency. |
