A TCA Dashboard is a visual interface that presents Transaction Cost Analysis (TCA) metrics and data, enabling traders and institutions to evaluate the efficiency and costs associated with their trade executions. In crypto investing, particularly for institutional options trading and large RFQ orders, it provides critical insights into execution quality across fragmented digital asset markets.
Mechanism
The dashboard aggregates and displays various cost components, including commissions, fees, market impact, and opportunity costs, typically benchmarked against arrival price or volume-weighted average price (VWAP). It processes trade data from multiple crypto exchanges and liquidity venues, presenting an analytical view of slippage and price performance for various trading strategies.
Methodology
The methodology involves collecting granular trade data, applying advanced statistical analysis to measure costs, and visualizing key performance indicators (KPIs) in real-time or near-real-time. Institutional users employ TCA Dashboards to refine their smart trading algorithms, optimize liquidity sourcing, and demonstrate best execution compliance, driving continuous improvement in their crypto trading operations.
A pricing waterfall improves the defensibility of a best execution policy by creating a systematic, auditable record of competitive quotes and cost factors.
