Executes a trade by automatically routing it to the exchange with the best price, or to a preferred exchange if specified.

​
Features

  • Unified order primitive: Access market and limit orders through one endpoint
  • Routing flexibility: Auto-route or pin to a preferred exchange per request
  • Advanced controls: Configure reduce-only behaviour and custom quantities
  • Rich telemetry: Responses include routing decisions, pricing, and execution latency

​
Use Cases

  • Power algorithmic trading systems needing granular order flags
  • Build discretionary trading interfaces that display execution venue rationale
  • Prototype new strategies without managing venue-specific adapters

​
Request

  • Method: POST
  • Endpoint: /api/trade/execute
  • Headers:
    • Content-Type: application/json
    • Authorization: Bearer <token>
This endpoint requires authentication. You must provide a valid JWT token in the Authorization header.

​
When to Use

  • Implement custom order flows while still benefiting from smart routing
  • Execute trades with automatic best-price venue selection
  • Run discretionary trades while preserving reduce-only protections
Use preferredExchange to force execution on a specific venue when you need deterministic routing, otherwise let the system automatically select the best price.
