Virtu Adds New Rules and Logic to POSIT Platform Ahead of Technological Rebuild

Virtu has rolled out several changes to its US block trading venue POSIT and confirmed the alternative trading system (ATS) will undergo a technological rebuild this year. According to a story in The TRADE news, the changes to Virtu’s US POSIT platform include the introduction of new matching rules changes such as price/size/time order priority, and price improvement being given to the liquidity provider. Segmentation rules have also been added to the system that will segment subscribers into three categories, neutral, move towards and move away, using a ‘markout’ methodology that uses long time horizons. Subscribers will then have the option to opt out of interacting with either the move towards or move away segments on an individual order basis. Alongside the specific changes to the US POSIT ATS, Virtu also confirmed that throughout the rest of this year the entire system will undergo a technological rebuild to improve its general performance. Virtu inherited the POSIT block trading platform, alongside block indications network POSIT Alert, following its $1 billion acquisition of agency broker ITG in 2019.
