Workflows
Designed around how you trade, not how platforms work
RealQ's workflows integrate directly into your existing processes to reduce friction, eliminate manual steps, and keep you in control of your liquidity at every stage.
Blotter Sync
Blotter Sync
A proprietary RealQ workflow that complements OMS and EMS integrations.
Orders flow instantly into RealQ's pool, making them immediately eligible to match.
What makes it unique
Our proprietary Blotter Sync technology enables the AxeMatch and ShieldMatch protocols to support uncommitted flow. This allows orders to remain actionable in external systems while resting in the RealQ pool.
With Blotter Sync, you retain control without locking orders into a single venue.
What it does
- Orders flow instantly into RealQ and rest until a match occurs (no broadcast)
- Eligible to match against both live and historical contra orders
- Orders executed away from RealQ are automatically decremented without duplication or operational risk
- Traders can pause or remove orders individually or in bulk at any time
New Issue Announcements
New Issue Announcements
RealQ is bringing greater visibility of new issue announcements to both the buy and sell side, who can engage in a quicker and more efficient way as deals are announced.
Our workflow solves for the current fragmented dissemination of
new issue data that is inefficient and time-consuming fir the buy side
to process.
What makes it unique
Grey market liquidity, live on screen within minutes of deal announcement.
Firm, anonymous pricing from the start so you can position before the
secondary market opens.
Multiple access points
