Description

Instinet has introduced BlockCross to its range of advanced trading platforms, designed to assist in navigating the complexities of executing large block trades in a market that is becoming increasingly fragmented. This alternative trading system (ATS) boasts distinctive features and a rich pool of liquidity, enabling traders to carry out substantial transactions with greater efficiency and privacy, thereby reducing the impact on the market. BlockCross facilitates the crossing of trades with natural liquidity sourced from a diverse mix of buy- and sell-side participants. The extensive and varied clientele of Instinet, stemming from its portfolio trading, commission management, and research segments, further enhances the liquidity opportunities available through BlockCross. Moreover, BlockCross integrates a proprietary order blotter that allows for a customized user experience directly from your trading interface. Users can configure alerts, react to natural liquidity opportunities, set automated execution parameters, communicate their interests to selected counterparties, and pinpoint strategies to maximize the efficiency of block trades, thereby enhancing their trading effectiveness. This innovative approach ensures that traders are well-equipped to adapt to the evolving landscape of block trading.
