Agency Cross

A trade that has only one agent acting for the buyer and seller.

Also known as Dual Agency.

Investopedia Commentary

Agency crosses occur when a broker receives perfectly offsetting trades simultaneously. The broker must send down the orders to the trading floor, announce the bid and manually cross the trades after no better bid is made.
