What is meant by Execution management?
An execution management system is the trader's working tool. It connects to venues and brokers, shows live prices and depth, and provides the algorithms and order types used to work a large order into the market without moving the price against you.
Who uses Execution management?
The trading desk.
What gets confused with Execution management?
An order management system, which holds the firm's record of intent and ownership. The execution system cares about the next few minutes; the order management system cares about the position for as long as it is held.
What should you ask a vendor about Execution management?
Venue and broker coverage for the instruments you actually trade matters more than the algorithm count.
