UNX Basket Center: Program and list trading

UNX’s basket trading engine is designed specifically for institutional traders who need advanced functionality and speed to trade lists of stocks easily and quickly.

Basket trading offers greater flexibility for tactical asset allocation and potentially higher performance returns than short-term investments in traditional mutual funds. You can manage an enhanced portfolio with customizable stock selections, and intraday trading and shorting capabilities, while monitoring positions in real-time – advantages not possible with traditional mutual funds.

Market conditions and system performance may delay system access, real-time data and trade execution.
