Liquidnet Adds Liquidity-seeking Alerts to Equities Trading Application

Liquidnet is set to integrate actionable alerts to its equities trading application to improve execution and alpha generation. This latest addition to Liquidnet’s equities trading application, which is available to all US and Canadian clients and powered by the firm’s suite of algorithms, will offer improved liquidity-seeking capabilities through new alerts. These alerts will offer traders the ability to quickly take advantage of liquidity events created by dark blocks, alongside the chance to reengage within the Liquidnet network on missed opportunities to trade. Liquidnet has also introduced a new Surge Opportunity alert, designed based on Surge Capture, a feature released by the firm’s innovation hub, Liquidnet Labs. According to Liquidnet, these prompts will leverage their own liquidity and are designed to help traders stay on top of sudden market movements and capture opportunities that might otherwise be missed. The new Surge Opportunity alert will keep traders posted on block trades executed in the market, while also giving them the opportunity to take advantage of these liquidity events.
