Explode the “Liquidity Smile,” CODA Markets Unveils Powerful Intraday Auction Trading Tool

Introducing Apex CODA Fuse, an on-demand auction product combining algorithmic trading with efficient liquidity—enabling a single order to trade with multiple counterparties

No more disguising orders, no more waiting in line to trade one at a time, no more concentrating your volume to the beginning and end of the day (aka the “liquidity smile”) — a new tool is transforming daily life for institutional investors in U.S. equity markets. Launched by CODA Markets, an Apex Fintech Solutions company focused on alternative equity trading systems, Apex CODA Fuse is a first-of-its-kind intraday auction product that equips investors with the tools to help prioritize liquidity over speed by enabling a single order to trade simultaneously with multiple counterparties.

“In the US equity markets today, speed is everything. The first one to the liquidity wins, and everyone else gets in line. The stock market was never supposed to be like this. And now Apex CODA Fuse puts an end to that,” said Bill Capuzzi, CEO at Apex Fintech Solutions, the parent company of CODA Markets.

Apex CODA Fuse replaces the conventional one-trade-at-a-time model with a simultaneous, multilateral model where every participant can easily converge to discover the liquidity they seek, at one price with little to no market impact. It can also be embedded directly into the trader’s algorithmic routing logic so that auctions are executed almost instantaneously, fluidly, and continuously throughout the trading day.

Since soft launching in the fall of 2021, Apex CODA Fuse has quickly scaled. In March 2022, over 240,000 daily auctions were initiated in Apex CODA Fuse representing 2 billion shares per day sent to auction, resulting in over 3 million shares executed daily.

“In a landscape that includes a variety of bilateral and sequential equity marketplaces, CODA Markets has differentiated itself by delivering a more fair and efficient market where your trading success is not governed by the speed of your technology,” said Don Ross, Head of Institutional & Trading at Apex Fintech Solutions. “And now Apex CODA Fuse takes this approach to the next level.”
