A major brokerage firm needed to build a hybrid market mission critical trading floor system consisting of electronic and traditional auction based trading system. Hybrid combines the electronic with the auction market. Hybrid market initiative has high level business requirements associated with broker interests, specialist interests, priority, parity and yielding rules, sweeps, open book updates, liquidity replenishment pointes, quoting, layered "G" Quotes, repeat trades for elected stock and changes in manual and automatic execution allocation.

This system benefited our client customers by offering a new series of trading options for providing greater ability to trade electronically, quickly, with certainty and anonymity. The hybrid market system will enable investors, regardless of their size, to receive the best prices when buying or selling shares. This ensured that our client continues to provide the lowest execution costs, the deepest liquidity, the tightest spreads, and the best prices for the listed stocks.
