Algorithmic trading
Algorithms of the past were work horses, strategies to automate what traders had
traditionally done manually. Our algorithms are "smarter" than industry
predecessors: subtler, more self-adaptive. Rather than simply targeting a
benchmark, they target your specific trading goals and mimic your trading style.
We’ve built them for real-world trading, your world trading.
A principled approach to algorithms:
- Art & science of liquidity. Understanding liquidity is our business,
so all of our algorithms are engineered to leverage it, both within and outside UBS.
- Crossing opportunities: UBS algorithms are designed to optimize crossing
to balance market impact and opportunity cost.
- Control: Intelligent algorithms that react to real-time market events,
but act only as aggressively or passively as you tell them.
- Global, in a local way:
Our strategies are built for local market microstructure, so that you can pursue best
execution and get a consistent trading experience, wherever you trade.
- Customization: We'll closely collaborate with you to bring even great
efficiency to your workflow.
