Key Apex features
Limit Order Protection
When we say we deliver Best Execution, we truly mean it. Limit Order Protection (LOP) enhances the speed and likelihood of execution for resting orders. Where a trade occurs on the primary market at a price better than the resting order’s limit, Equiduct automatically generates an Liquidity Provider order to execute the volume traded on the primary market. LOP trades are allocated on the basis of price/time priority. We are the only exchange that has mechanisms in place that enhance execution quality
Apex Retry
Another way that Equiduct ensures Apex provides Best Execution to resting orders is through the Apex Retry: When an order becomes marketable against the EBBO an automatic trade is initiated against the pool of Liquidity Providers. Another unique feature only available through Equiduct.
Opening and Closing Cross
Equiduct operates an opening and closing cross that facilitates trading at the same opening/closing price as that generated by the primary market.
