Matrix Executions COO Allen Greenberg on options trends, 24-hour trading, and how Tony Saliba got the band back together
JLN talked to Allen Greenberg, the COO of Matrix Executions, at the OIC Conference in Nashville in April.

It was formed by the old management team that ran Liquidpoint and then converted the options to Convergex after Dash took over Convergex, Greenberg said. Tony Saliba, the company’s co-founder, “started making calls, saying, ‘Hey, we want this band back together if you’re interested,'” Greenberg added. So they put together a matrix and took the old ITG derivatives broker-dealer and combined the two.
