Why are other brokers lagging behind us?
Our results would be even more impressive if we consider that statistics are not kept for other routers and it is difficult to understand their order processing speed.
SmartRouting
Our smart router controls the accounting of the transaction costs along with the reward or fee for adding liquidity. For clients who want even more control over their orders, in the Trader Workstation terminal, clients can specify stock and option routing strategies for non-market orders. For stocks and options, clients can configure their non-market orders to be forwarded to:
Clients themselves can choose to send non-market Smart routers and choose their rebates. These routing directives can be set in the "Misc" tab by going to the orders tab, or as global default settings from smart routing on the configuration page.
To change the pricing structure, enter the Client Portal, then in the Account Administration select the Pricing Structure section.
