FAN
FAN is the algorithmic trading strategy for buy- and sell-side traders in search of efficient and cost-effective trade execution in U.S. equities in a fragmented marketplace. With the proliferation of dark pools, FAN aggregates disparate liquidity with its smart order execution technology.

FAN employs a highly innovative aggregation technology that sweeps and posts orders simultaneously in public and non-displayed markets. Through the employment of smart order execution technology, FAN adapts to real-time trade executions and re-circulates an order to destinations where real-time trade executions are taking place.

FAN – Smart Order Execution at Work
  Proactive and adaptive (re-circulates orders to destinations where real-time trade executions are taking place)
  Driven by client’s best execution parameters
  Single ticket clearing
  Preserves order anonymity and mitigates adverse price movement



Adaptability
As with any algorithm offered by EdgeTrade, traders new to FAN are provided with training by our relationship managers and client services desk. Special attention is placed on ensuring that a trader’s understanding of how the algorithm operates also fits within the context of each user’s trading style and interaction with other technologies.

Customization
The development of FAN has involved considerable consultation with our competitive client base, which includes asset managers, mutual funds and quantitative or strategy-driven hedge funds.

Through continual feedback from our clients, EdgeTrade’s dedicated client service focuses on the constant evaluation of its algorithmic product suite, back testing and upgrading them in order to enhance their performance. Our goal is to achieve the highest efficiency and cost-effectiveness in electronic trade execution at the trading desks of our clients.

EdgeTrade’s quantitative team provides hands-on support and customizes strategies to meet the specific trading styles and objectives of each client, in an agency-only and conflict-free setting.
