BTON is a machine learning intelligence layer that connects directly to your existing trading systems, enhancing every routing decision without changing how your desk operates.
Institutional trading desks have invested years building their technology stack. Replacing it isn't the answer. BTON sits between your existing systems as a thin, intelligent layer, applying machine learning to every order in real time and routing to the broker most likely to deliver best execution.
There is no rip-and-replace. No re-training. No new interface to learn. BTON connects via API and is transparent to your existing workflow: your EMS, your TCA, your brokers, all unchanged.
BTON inserts a single, stateless intelligence layer between your order management and broker execution infrastructure. Nothing changes either side of it.
Every order passes through a precise ML pipeline: vectorisation, nearest-neighbour recall, ranked broker prediction. All in milliseconds.
BTON identifies nearest neighbours and their performance outcomes across the collaborative network, enabling statistically grounded broker selection for every individual order.
Traditional broker selection is static, manual, and retrospective. BTON replaces that with a live neural network that scores your entire broker panel for each individual order, dynamically, in real time, before the trade.
The result is a ranked recommendation with predicted slippage and a confidence interval, delivered in milliseconds inside the systems your desk already uses.
BTON's objective is broker performance, not trader behaviour. The model is blind to who you are and how you trade. What it sees, exclusively, is how brokers perform against orders with similar characteristics across the network. That signal is dense, anonymised and continuously compounding, which is what makes the recommendation increasingly accurate over time. And because only BTON sees the network, your desk gains context that no individual firm could generate alone.
We chose BTON to deliver a competitive advantage over our peers. The project delivered measurable P&L benefits and improved broker relationships by standardizing and smoothing trade flow distribution.
BTON's neural network has a single objective: predict which broker will deliver the best outcome for a given order's characteristics. It is not interested in who placed the order, how your desk operates, or what your strategy is. That will always remain human.
BTON connects to your existing infrastructure in days. Your desk operates as normal, with materially better execution from the moment you go live.
