Overview
Omega ATS is a Canadian alternative trading system (ATS) that enables trading in securities listed on all major Canadian exchanges, including TSX, TSXV, CNSX and Alpha. It began operations in December 2007 and was designed as an extremely low-latency, low-cost platform to speed up internal order execution. The Omega order book follows strict price/time priority rules and permits trading only in securities that can be settled through the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDS). Omega offers an inverted pricing model for equities: a low fee is charged for adding liquidity, while no fee is charged for taking liquidity. The marketplace also offers breakpoint pricing, which gives broker-dealers a discounted liquidity rate based on total monthly share volume. Omega ATS is open for trading between 9:30 and 16:00 Eastern Time and does not accept orders before market open. It is part of the Tradelogiq group.
