LiquidityBook, a FactSet company and leading provider of cloud-native buy- and sell-side trading solutions, announced that its buy-side clients can now seamlessly access overnight trading through alternative trading system, Blue Ocean ATS, supported by introducing broker, Capital Institutional Services (CAPIS). This integration empowers LiquidityBook clients to trade U.S. equities 24 hours a day, five days a week—fulfilling the longstanding demand for around-the-clock market access across buy-side firms.
By leveraging Blue Ocean ATS, buy-side clients can now extend their trading capabilities beyond typical market hours, executing trades from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM ET, Sunday through Thursday.

Alongside this enhanced capability, CAPIS serves as the introducing broker, providing both access and clearing services for trades executed via LiquidityBook, further enhancing trading flexibility and efficiency.

Mark Viani, Director of Institutional Sales and Managed Account Solutions at CAPIS, added, “We’re excited to play a key role in enabling this expanded trading capability for LiquidityBook’s buy-side clients. As the introducing broker, CAPIS is committed to delivering seamless access and clearing services that ensure these trades flow smoothly from execution to settlement.”
