Ballista Securities is a privately owned operator of Ballista ATS, the alternative trading system for delta-neutral strategies, complex transactions and block options trades.

Until Ballista, these trades were slow, expensive and inefficient to execute. And on top of it all, traders never really knew if they were getting a fair deal.

Driven by an intense desire to change fair and fast, Ballista strives every day to provide an anonymous and incredibly efficient options trading experience.

The Ballista ATS is a fully integrated electronic platform designed to improve the execution of block-sized and complex equity option trades.

Ballista was conceived on the notion that equity option liquidity is overly fragmented, and thus inadequately and inefficiently accessible to institutional traders.
