optimum routing across all ECNs
sweeping of ECN books and identification of hidden orders by individual names and across portfolios.

Traders can also utilize DeepFeed to estimate slippage in real time based on value or size of order wave, and analyze trends and market direction for individual securities, by sector, portfolios, industry and other groupings, FlexTrade said.

The company said DeepFeed could prove appealing to quantitative traders who calculate market impact and other potential outcomes of pre-trade decisions.
