What We Do

Order Routing
& Execution

In an increasingly fragmented marketplace, Lampost prides itself on being able to deliver the best execution possible given the liquidity, volatility and real spread of an issue balanced with the urgency and trading goals of the client. By uniquely deploying smart order routing technology embedded in the LAMP, POST and other curated routes, Lampost can instantly access liquidity in multiple exchanges, ATS’s, dark pools and other execution venues. As a result, Lampost may be able to improve the price, speed and fill quality of our clients’ equity and options orders while minimizing impact and exposure to the primary market.
