Weekly Highlights

  • More than half way through the month, August is shaping up as our fifth straight month in a row setting average daily market-share records versus the TCV.

  • During this five-month window, we have experienced both periods of stability with lower liquidity–such as early April, June, and August–and spikes in volume and volatility–such as late April-May, and mid-June. In all kinds of market conditions, spread improvement and post-trade stability help algo benchmark performance.

  • Orders displayed on our free market data feed, IQX, have improved the NBBO over 13mm times per day since the beginning of April– saving subscribers around 30% of the spread, with post-trade markouts less than half that of exchange averages.

  • Please contact the desk for more information on our weekly data or to connect to IQX – it's available directly or through Exegy, MayStreet, Redline, and ACTIV.
