ITG Channel^® is a powerful, easy-to-use desktop tool that provides access to ITG’s unique liquidity directly from your EMS or OMS—so you can effortlessly complete more executions. ITG Channel connects you to scheduled and continuous matching through POSIT^® (US) and MATCH Now^SM (Canada), as well as indications-based matching through POSIT Alert^® (US). ITG Algorithms^® and the ITG trading desk are also available destinations.

ITG Channel automatically sweeps your blotter for uncommitted shares at intervals you specify. Select any time before a POSIT cross, or sweep on demand. It then queries and filters based on predetermined criteria before displaying ITG-eligible entries. After reviewing the entries, you can adjust if required, and submit orders for execution. What’s more, ITG Channel automatically updates your EMS or OMS with placements, execution results, and unfilled orders.

Key Benefits

• Reduces market impact—POSIT matching and ITG Algorithms help to maintain the confidentiality of your orders and eliminate potential market impact.
• Keeps you connected—Match-based reminders and indication notifications make you aware of potential liquidity opportunities.
• Improves desktop efficiency—Optional automated EMS/OMS sweeps save traders time. And, a small status toolbar can provide real-time activity updates (sweeps, alerts, and indications) without taking up precious desktop real estate.
