Liquidnet Further Enhances Equities Trading App with New Liquidity-Seeking Alerts

Liquidnet, a leading technology-driven agency execution specialist, continues enhancing its equities trading application, by introducing new liquidity-seeking alerts, for the purpose of improving execution and alpha generation.

According to the official press release, these alerts offer traders the opportunity to quickly avail themselves of liquidity events created by dark blocks and the ability to reengage within the Liquidnet network on missed opportunities to trade.

Specifically, the alerts include the Surge Opportunity alert, which alerts traders of block trades executed in the market and giving them the opportunity to take advantage of these liquidity events. Surge Opportunity was designed off of the success of Surge Capture, the inaugural feature released from Liquidnet's innovation hub, Liquidnet Labs.

Leveraging their own liquidity, the new offering is expected to help traders stay ahead of sudden market movements and capture opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

Rob Cranston, Global Head of Equities Product at Liquidnet, said: "Finding block liquidity, particularly in the current market conditions, can be challenging. We've seen client success through Surge Capture, and so Surge Opportunity builds off that concept of prompting clients to catch relevant liquidity after a block print. These technology-driven solutions enable our clients to capture these sudden spikes in liquidity and avoid missing out. These new capabilities and alerts are truly unique in the market.

In November 2022, Liquidnet announced the integration of the proprietary trading analytics​, which is powered by Liquidnet Investment Analytics (IA), a sophisticated analytical solution, into its equities trading application. With this integration, traders have access to personalized pre and intra-trade analytics through real time alerts and intuitive visualizations.
