Execution Rules - Execution Styles
- First look - the order will be sent for internalisation first and then brokered if internalisation fails.
- TOB wins - orders will be internalised or brokered based on which price is best for the client. If to be brokered, the order will be sent to the external pool defined in the distribution channel.
- Forced Internalisation - In the case where the internalisation logic rejects an order, this would be overridden and a fill generated at the Continuity Pool price (with any additional markup).
- Consequentially sanity checks on order acceptance are circumvented if the internalisation criteria result in a reject - for example liquidity reduction is bypassed, as are all pricing model protections/limits - as the Continuity Pool rate (with markup) will be used to fill instead.
- Internalise only
- Broker
- Reject
- Broker First - the order will be sent for brokering first and then internalised with internalisation checks if brokering fails.
If First Look, Internalisation only, TOB wins, or Broker First (if brokering fails) are set, there are also the following checks for deciding internalisation:
- Last look delay - how many ms an order will be held for before Compass makes the decision to fill or cancel.
- Price check - this defines the maximum the price (as proportion of mid) can move away from the mid from the trades inception to the end of the Last Look period in the favour of the counterparty, before the order is rejected.
- Mid distance - the minimum distance allowed between the mid price of the principal stream and the price the order was filled at.
