BestEx Research Unveils Curator Algorithm

BestEx Research Group LLC, an independent provider known for delivering high-performance algorithmic execution and measurement solutions for institutional traders, has recently announced its latest offering: the Curator algorithm. This dark execution algorithm is designed not only to filter through the chaos of dark venues but also to enhance execution quality significantly in trading.

In an environment where off-exchange trading volumes are on the rise, the complexities surrounding alternative trading systems (ATSs) have also intensified. Traditional algorithms typically aim for widespread access to these dark venues but often fail to optimize the engagement terms with them. This can lead to inefficiencies, such as information leakage and adverse selection, ultimately harming the overall execution quality. Recognizing the urgent need to combat such issues, BestEx Research has developed Curator to specifically tackle these challenges.

Curator utilizes a rigorous, multi-layered framework. It curates liquidity by applying market structure expertise and model-based intelligence, allowing traders to navigate the increasingly toxic landscape of ATSs more effectively. By focusing on a detailed analysis of ATS-N filings, the algorithm offers tailored solutions based on data-driven segmentation. This capability helps identify which counterparty filtering is beneficial, enhancing both the hitting rate and the quality of trades.

Furthermore, Curator dynamically balances taking and providing behaviors based on each tactic's unique structural exposure to adverse selection. During trading, it leverages real-time signals to identify optimal engagement conditions. For conditional orders, the platform deploys proprietary methodology to limit information leakage while maximizing the hit rate—ensuring that each trade remains as transparent and cost-effective as possible.

Understanding that no single tactic works optimally across multiple venues, Curator calibrates its functionalities to suit client urgency and works on a venue-specific basis. Hitesh Mittal, Founder and CEO of BestEx Research, stated, "Most algorithms can reach most ATSs, but few are built to optimize how exactly they use them. Curator is an expression of what we believe algorithmic execution should be—grounded in rigorous research to uncover and correct what is actually costing our clients in their execution."

With the launch of Curator, BestEx Research aims to introduce a level of analytical rigor across every dimension of execution, marking a significant step forward in market structure navigation. Clients can now access a comprehensive, research-backed dark liquidity playbook, which outlines the foundational market structure analyses and quantitative framework that informs the Curator algorithm’s design.
