Alpha Trading System set to launch

Posted on November 6, 2008

Following the completion of its recent testing phase, Alpha Trading Systems (Alpha), a Canadian alternative trading system (ATS) has announced that it will formally launch on November 7, 2008. Owned by nine major Canadian financial institutions, Alpha will operate as a visible continuous auction market and initially support trading of ten TSX-listed securities. Its stated objective, however, is to have all TSX and TSXV-listed securities available for trading on its platform by the end of the first quarter of 2009.

Alpha is the latest new marketplace to join the Canadian landscape, which also includes Pure Trading, Omega ATS, Chi-X Canada and Blockbook.
