Innovative U.S. Equity Options Algorithms

Strategies for complex order trading such as Peg To Volatility, Peg To Delta, Peg To Bid & Ask, TWAP, Trigger Trading, Discretion, and Reserve & Hidden algorithms. Complex multi-leg option spread trading also available.

Equity/Option Pair Trading Algorithm

Tradebook offers traders the ability to easily and quickly trade an options/equity pair while leveraging sophisticated technology to seek best execution for both contracts and shares.

Peg To Volatility (Vega) Algorithm

The Peg To Volatility algorithm enables traders to algorithmically trade volatility. This algorithm routes and adjusts your option order’s limit to float with your specified volatility to the underlying security. The algorithm utilizes the same volatility service that populates the volatility values in OMON on the Bloomberg Professional service.

Peg To Bid/Ask Algorithm

The Peg To Bid/Ask is one of Bloomberg Tradebook’s new algorithms that help traders trade based on whether certain option price measurements (the Greeks) seem cheap or richly priced. A Peg To Bid (buy) strategy with discretion enables a trader to float with the best bid to seek to capture the spread.

Additional Algorithms include:

Stock Leg, Trigger, No Show, Fire, Contingency, Peg To Bid/Ask, Peg To Delta, Peg To Volatility (Vega), and Smart Order Router.
