Single Stock - Firefly supports single stock trading using custom order-entry screens which allows traders to either self-direct orders or use the suite of advanced trade management algorithms. Also, single stock trades can be targeted to a portfolio or different sub-accounts.
List / Basket Trading - Simplifies the process of program trading. Baskets provide a mechanism for setting up and then executing a group of orders. Baskets can be saved and reused. They also can be generated dynamically from a portfolio as a means to trade in that portfolio, thereby facilitating moving sums of money into and out of the portfolio, rebalancing the portfolio, etc.
