AGENCY TRADING
Celadon delivers innovative solutions for both technical and institutional trading styles.
Our experienced traders are adept at executing large or complex orders for our institutional clients. Where possible, we provide price improvement with minimal market impact. Celadon’s technology infrastructure supports custom order management parameters and connectivity to all principal US market centers.
Equities. With access to all major exchanges, ECNs, lit and dark liquidity pools, Celadon’s traders can execute your trades efficiently and anonymously. Our ability to execute institutional orders is comparable to that of larger firms, only we do so with a level of personalized service that is increasingly rare on Wall Street.
Options. While our agency traders have substantial experience with every asset class, we have developed particular expertise in options trading. We are fluent in complex options strategies and can efficiently execute strategies that require special attention. Our extensive experience with listed and OTC options allows us to identify actionable trading and arbitrage opportunities.
Commission Management. Defray up to the total cost of eligible brokerage and research costs consistent with applicable regulations.
Smart Order Routing. Because we operate on a broker-neutral platform, Celadon routes orders based solely on our clients’ best interests. Our smart order software offers fast and intelligent routing to market venues, helping to navigate today’s complex and highly fragmented markets.
