"More ELPs means our subscribers have the opportunity to interact with more dark liquidity, so we are pleased that Interactive Brokers has joined our network of ELPs," said Bryan Harkins, Head of Sales and Strategy at Direct Edge ECN. "Our ELP Program improves our customers' executions by providing additional liquidity, immediacy, and lower market impact."

"We became an ELP because of the additional liquidity we can access. We are committed to getting the best executions at the best price for the clients of Interactive Brokers, and Direct Edge's ELP Program helps us achieve that goal," said Steven Sanders, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Product Development, Interactive Brokers.
