An SOR (Smart Order Routing) model is an algorithmic system designed to optimize the execution of trade orders by intelligently routing them across multiple liquidity venues, such as exchanges and dark pools, to achieve the best possible price. Its purpose is to minimize execution costs, reduce market impact, and improve overall trade performance by accessing fragmented liquidity sources.
Mechanism
This model functions by analyzing real-time market data, including bid-ask spreads, order book depth, latency, and available liquidity across various trading platforms. Based on predefined parameters and optimization objectives, the SOR algorithm fragments the order and dispatches different parts to the venues offering the most favorable execution conditions at that moment.
Methodology
The strategic deployment of an SOR model involves a continuous optimization process that adapts to changing market conditions and liquidity landscapes, particularly in the dynamic crypto market. This methodology prioritizes efficient capital deployment and risk reduction, allowing institutional traders to execute large orders discreetly and achieve superior average prices by intelligently navigating diverse and often disparate liquidity pools.
