Smart Order Routing (SOR) to help investors

Smart Order Routing (SOR) is the new method to help investors and traders in order to choose the stock exchange that has best available price while executing their orders. 

     Stock market is a mysterious universe.  A broad world that has its own language, laws and players.  It is the business platform that gives best long-term profit higher than that from any other traditional method of investments.  Probably, even for common people are able to predict how the world will go forward. 

     Initially, what is needed to start the investment journey in share market is, the understanding about the company’s activities and how those activities impact the values of a share holder’s investment.   In the regular case, an investor choose the shares of companies that are running in good profit and that are giving comparatively higher amount of dividend to share holders every year.  He will reach in the conclusion that If the company is not running in good condition, it cannot provide good earnings to share holders.  

     One thing is clear from this.  Each investor starts speculating in accordance with their own capacity of knowledge.  Along with this, one more problem for the investor is how they could get the best prices from stock exchanges.  As a solution for this problem, now onward, even small-scale investors can utilize the gain of advancement of information technology.  It is a natural case that the question, ‘from which exchange an investor will get best prices for selling and buying the shares’, may probably arise, especially in a scenario that the number of stock exchanges, even in national level, is increasing.   Share trading is like a suspense thriller movie; and while watching it, a climax might be there at any second on progress of the reel. 

     Investors get good profit when they are able to buy the shares at the available lowest price and to sell at the available highest price.   It is not practical for an investor to check the price of shares in all exchanges while he tries to place a buy or sell order. In that case, the trader might miss the best opportunities as well.  

     Understanding this difficulty, a technology which is suitable for the modern time, is coming to the scene in order to help the investors.  The technology is called ‘Smart Order Routing’ (SOR).  When a trader selects the option 'SOR' while he places the order, the trade will be executed only at the exchange that has best profitable price available.  In this method, the only thing a trader has to do is selecting the option 'SOR' while buying and selling the shares.  Globally, this method is widely accepted.  In India also, as the traders are in badly need of this method, prominent share brokers have begun to implement it for the convenience of their clients.
