The SuperX pool can be accessed via the Autobahn Equity platform by means of execution algorithms or direct connections. The Autobahn execution algos are calibrated specifically to source dark liquidity in ‘larger-than-lit’ slices, and are successfully used by many institutional investor participants seeking to trade dark in size. |
