> Hanno, Cross trade doesnot only refer to the trade which are subimitted by single buy side, the orders will come from different buyside side firm and then it get internally matched with the sell side hub, if this matched then the trade will get executed with out reporting to exchange. For example, If A,B,C,D are the buy side firm using E as their sellside firm for executing the orders then A may send a buy order which matches with the sell order of B, so in this phase the E sellside broker matches this order internally and send the ER to both the counter parties. Regards, Girish I have a different view and would call what you describe > "internalization". The definition you give is confusing for me as it > does not seem to fit with the way it is used by FIX. I thought that > cross trades were when both sides of a trade come from a single > submitter. That would only fit if the sellside internally "matches" two > orders and then sends both sides to an exchange for execution.

In that sense, the buyside cannot "send in a cross > trade", it can only send in an order and it is the sellside that makes > this into a cross trade when it comes up with the other side (and sends > this to an exchange). > > Regards, Hanno. > > >Guys, > > > > Just to simplfy the answer, Cross trade means, it is the trade which > > is sent by buyside to the sellside were the sellside will try to match > > the order internally with in their inventory and if the order matches > > then he will execute this internally and will not send to exchange.
