BlockCross

Automate your block execution workflow.

Finding and executing blocks is more critical than ever to meeting your trading objectives. And in today’s complex and diverse markets, it’s only getting harder.

made easy.

BlockCross was created for one purpose: to make it easier to identify and capture significant liquidity efficiently, and with less market impact. 

It achieves this by providing a simple and intuitive interface with a minimal screen footprint that tracks block supply and demand in real time, sends customizable alerts to opportunities, and lets traders choose how and when they want to interact.

BlockCross seamlessly integrates a trader’s blotter, working passively in the background to ID block activity in names they’re actively trading.

User-configurable alerts invite traders to respond to block opportunities, or traders can proactively seek contra-side interest.

BlockCross’s automated opportunities seamlessly complement a trader’s worked orders; traders take what they need and leave what they don’t—but they won’t miss out on an opportunity.

BlockCross users also get access to unique institutional agency liquidity from Instinet’s portfolio trading desk, commission management platform, and access to Wolfe research. 

BlockCross is available in the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
