the impact of a transaction even further by matching order flow across an array of venues and executing proportionally to decrease the market footprint.

• Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) Strategy: Trades at an even pace over a specified time period, adapting to prevailing market conditions and choosing the best venue of execution for transactions

• Implementation Shortfall Strategy: Aims to execute an order by minimising slippage from market price at the order start time.

• Get Done Algorithm: Geared towards executing an order aggressively by consuming maximum liquidity across multiple venues, including internal ones, at prices at or better than the limit price.

• Liquidity +: Gives you a choice of up to two different algorithms to operate in different price zones, the core zone and/or the target zone.

• Benchmark Orders: We offer 4 precious metals benchmarks (gold, silver, platinum and palladium) and over 10 FX cash benchmarks including WMR.

• Transaction Cost Analysis: a transparent tool used to display order details of deals executed via HSBC FX Algos.
