DASH Financial Launches BLITZ, Their Most Aggressive Liquidity Capture Solution to Date
BLITZ™ Options Algorithm Now Available Exclusively Through REDIPlus
NEW YORK, April 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DASH Financial, a leading Institutional agency broker devoted to bringing unfettered transparency to the US options and equities markets, announces the debut of BLITZ, its newest trading algorithm focused on aggressive liquidity capture. Initially, BLITZ is exclusively available via the REDIPlus® trade management platform.
"One of the biggest issues facing the marketplace today is institutional traders' inability to clear the screens as displayed on order arrival," said David Karat, Head of Sales & Marketing at Dash Financial. "BLITZ aggressively sweeps displayed and hidden liquidity with sub 25 microsecond internal order processing. As with all of our algorithms, we provide complete transparency into all rationale for order routing decisions and fees to the client in real time at the child-order level through our web-based Dashboard."
"Our technology enables clients to easily configure our algorithms and routers to achieve their goals, whether that is fee mitigation, aggressive liquidity capture or somewhere in between. Understanding the complexities of market microstructure is particularly important when liquidity capture is the primary objective and BLITZ' architecture helps our clients achieve that goal in an efficient and thorough manner," said Peter Maragos, CEO of Dash Financial. "In addition, making Blitz available through REDIPlus completes our recent roll out on their platform."
Sean Sullivan, Chief Revenue Officer at REDI, added, "We've consistently been impressed with Dash's technology performance, service level and above all commitment to transparency, which align 100% with our values as a firm. We are proud to build on our partnership with Dash to be the first platform to roll out this innovative new strategy."
