Automation has revolutionized equity trading and created higher standards for order handling and execution quality. SEI's Rules Based Routing platform is a quantitative, rules based trading engine that builds on this revolution and combines it with the SEI drive for efficient access to the markets.

Rules Based Routing can analyze the profile of the trade based on user-defined trade parameters, such as average daily volume and share quantity - then auto-route the order to the appropriate destination(s) with assigned handling instructions and execution tactics.
