FX Algorithmic Execution

Our intelligent FX algorithms are designed to access liquidity, mitigate market impact and optimize your performance by reacting rapidly to market events. Additional functionality allows for customization in line with your execution goals.

Available strategies include:

UBS ORCA Direct

Looks to fill urgently using liquidity from UBS Principal, ECNs & correlated Futures instruments. It is best used when wanting to be filled urgently, using a wide range of liquidity sources.

UBS Tap

Works the order in line with a target participation band chosen through urgency. It watches short term market movements, becoming more urgent if the market moves on side and backs off as the market moves away.

UBS Float

Places order on the bid, mid-point or offer and floats with price movements. Anti-gaming functionality looks not to flag the movement.

TWAP

Time-based order that attempts to trade at an even pace over a specified time.

VWAP

Volume-based order that trades in line with historic UBS market volume over the time you specify.
