As a result of the merger of technology and market structure, SEI offers sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies that can rapidly analyze market conditions, manage risk, and make intelligent decisions. 

Customizable trading tactics work in tandem with patented algorithmics, real-time market data and the core execution engine to target optimal execution opportunities. You have two when selecting your algorithm: use pre-programmed trading tactics, or provide custom instructions in tandem with existing tactics. When employing these algorithms you may either access them directly or by defining custom rules-based routing instructions that will assign the execution tactic based on the order type.

The Advantage is Yours
The end results are compelling trading solutions that can enhance trading performance and lower transaction costs (including market impact, slippage costs and opportunity costs), while maintaining client and order anonymity.

Custom Algorithms
By providing advanced trading tools, SEI places control in the hands of the trader, allowing you to create complex custom algorithms to meet a specific need. Once defined, these custom algorithms are accessible through SEI's electronic execution platform.
