BLOOMBERG TRADEBOOK®, a leading global agency broker, announced
exclusive arrangements with leading industry dark liquidity providers to
deliver full transparency and visibility of dark pool executions.
Under the new arrangement, Tradebook can show traders where their orders
are being filled, in real-time, providing additional insight that
enables more informed decisions about where to direct order flow and
discretionary trades.
Tradebook also launched its B-Dark algorithm, which contains the first
analytic to deliver real-time venue transparency in dark pools, allowing
traders to execute dark liquidity orders with more control and
visibility.
“For far too long the buy-side has tolerated a critical lack of
information when trading in dark pools and that needs to change,” said
Raymond M. Tierney III, the new Chief Executive Officer and President of
Bloomberg Tradebook LLC. “We are encouraged that dark pool providers are
joining us to ensure that dark liquidity and algorithmic trading is
safer, more fair and open throughout the industry.”
Bloomberg Tradebook is increasing access to information with the release
of its new B-Dark algorithm, a dark only version of the already widely
used B-SmartSM algorithm, which helps traders seek optimal
execution prices. Targeted towards traders of mid-and small-cap
equities, B-Dark provides traders with a sophisticated way to trade in
dark-only venues.
B-Dark enables traders to control more of their workflow by designating
urgency levels and specifying the level of aggression with which the
algorithm will seek dark liquidity. In addition, B-Dark provides
anti-gaming logic, including order randomization and real-time venue
slippage analysis, to protect traders from toxic flow that sometimes
resides in dark venues.
“Bloomberg Tradebook’s clients expect us to do much more than supply
connectivity,” added Mr. Tierney. “The industry arrangements, coupled
with our new B-Dark algorithm, give our clients unprecedented
transparency and control, allowing them to make split-second decisions
about best price executions in both lit and dark markets.”
