MiFID 2 double volume caps – the end of dark trading?” – Automated Trader Magazine publishes a report contributed by our Head of Analytics Ulrich Nögel, Co-founder and Head of Analytics, writes about DVCs and LIS trading published in the Q3/4 issue 44 of the Automated Trader Magazine A controversial rule in MiFID 2 is the double volume cap mechanism for dark pools. Recently, a quantitative study presented dramatic numbers on the percentage of stocks that would be suspended under the regime. We investigate if the efficient use of large-in-scale trading can help to mitigate the caps. Please visit the Automated Trader Magazine to read the full report (subscribers only).
Robin Mess, our CEO, will speak about navigation in a dynamic liquidity landscape (pre and post MiFID II) and how analytics helps to optimize trading performance. In the afternoon Robin will share thoughts on the dynamic liquidity landscape: Fragmented liquidity and the emergence of new venues and order types like periodic auctions, dark pools or LIS venues, are not new to Pan-European trading. With MiFID II we will see further changes with an increasing complexity (e.g. restricted dark pool trading, DVCs). In this dynamic liquidity landscape, trading firms have to overhaul their existing strategies. We show how technology and independent analytics can help the trading community to optimize execution and trading performance.
