IT – INET FIX – Introduction of additional Pairs Spread Algorithm (67/15)

Nasdaq OMX Exchange and Clearing Services AB have offered a set of Execution Algorithms since January 9, 2014.

Based on client request Nasdaq OMX Exchange and Clearing Services AB has decided to enhance the Execution Algorithms offering by providing one additional Pairs Algo Trading Strategy called Setup Pair, or “SUPR”.

The new strategy will be available on INET Nordic FIX and Nordic Workstation.

Details

The core foundation of the new strategy is that the Algorithm is buying one stock and selling one another stock to capture a certain defined spread.

The pair strategy typically determines the price at which it is willing to execute each leg of the pair trade, by looking at the price of the opposite leg and factoring in the parameters entered by the trader.

The new pair strategy typically allows for initializing both legs simultaneously and is based on the existing Performance Neutral Pair strategy – “PNPR” with the following new FIX values and tags:

INET Field   Value
ExecBroker [76] Existing tag New value “SUPR”
Ratio [20031] New tag Conditionally required for the SUPR strategy. Ratio aspect of the deal involved.
Valid values:
