Alternative Trading System

Alternative Trading System (ATS) is a registered U.S. trading venue that matches and executes orders for securities outside traditional exchanges. It is typically operated by broker-dealers and regulated under Regulation ATS.

Example: Example: A broker routes a block order to an ATS to seek additional liquidity; if a matching order is found, a trade is executed and reported to market data feeds.
