Use case

Execute smarter

Know when liquidity is deep, when spreads are wide, and when flow turns toxic.

Featured notebook

Timing execution around liquidity

Execution cost is not constant through the day. Spreads widen, depth thins, and order flow turns adverse together around stressed periods. For a moderate-frequency order, when you execute can matter more than shaving microseconds off the route. This notebook measures when liquidity is deep, spreads are narrow, and flow is least toxic, then ranks the hours by modelled execution cost and cross-checks that ranking against measured slippage.

Pre-executed results — free to run on preview data, or use the CLI with DEMO-KEY.
