Independent execution-quality assessment for crypto OTC desks

Clients and counterparties increasingly ask a desk to show its execution was competitive — and a desk scoring its own fills has an obvious incentive problem. Independent, external evidence is the one thing you cannot produce in-house.

What EnsoTrade does for otc desks

EnsoTrade produces an external assessment of your execution quality: your fills measured at the clip size you actually sent, across venues — including ones you do not trade on. It is evidence you can stand behind precisely because we have no stake in it and never sit in your execution path. Independence is the product, not a feature.

Independent, not in your execution path

EnsoTrade never touches custody, keys or orders. It prices and scores — your desk keeps trading. That separation is deliberate: a measurement is only credible if the party producing it has no stake in the fill. See the measured scorecard on named public companies, read the institutional API, or start with the implementation-shortfall and arrival-price benchmarks.

FAQ

Does EnsoTrade execute trades for otc desks?

No. EnsoTrade is independent measurement, not execution. Your own desk or execution partner keeps placing orders on its own accounts; we never touch custody, keys or funds. That independence is what makes the measurement credible.

What does EnsoTrade measure for otc desks?

Slippage versus the arrival price, implementation shortfall, and the cost of spread, fees and market impact — on live multi-venue order books, both before a trade (to choose the cheapest route) and after (as evidence), with full workings.

How much does it cost, and what will I save?

We quote no price or saving until you give your real clip size and fee stack — a number without those is strawman. Once you do, the measured figure is specific to your orders and yours to check.
