NEW STRATEGIC ALGORITHM IS INTRODUCED

Weeden & Co., a full-service institutional broker, in partnership with Pragma, an independent provider of innovative trading solutions, announced the release of Ghost, a new strategic algorithm built to work an order using a stock’s price action as a primary driver for its execution speed. Ghost waits to take advantage of favorable price movements and increases its trading rate when the price becomes favorable, but does not block the market, and allows the stock to continue its price trend.

The algorithm protects client orders from predatory flow using our newest version of antigaming logic, which has been updated to deal with the proliferation of high-frequency order flow in the marketplace. The logic modulates its trading behavior based on millisecond-level details of activity in the market, including the pattern and price of trades, to help prevent information leakage, gaming, and adverse selection.
