The present application generally relates to electronic trading systems, and more specifically to systems and methods for electronic trade order routing. Specifically, electronic trade orders may be divided into a first set and a second set. The first set of trade orders are executed with ad hoc execution styles. For the second set, execution style recommendations are generated in a form of a lookup table for the second set of trade orders according to a testing routing strategy. The second set of trade orders are executed with recommended execution styles. A difference between performance metrics among the first set of trade orders and the second set of trade orders is computed. A decision on whether to adopt the recommended execution style is generated based at least in part on the computed difference.
