Day 2 of 12: After our initial market overview yesterday, today we take closer look at the development of auctions.
Some observations:
- The two largest gainers appear to be the Closing Auctions and Periodic Auctions.
- Some have observed that more lit trading has moved to the closing auction as the benchmark drives index & ETF traders.
- The inference then for Periodic Auctions is that they have seen flow migrate from dark pools as Double Volume Caps took effect.
- It is difficult to be certain of the reasons for this dispersion from this chart alone so we plan to investigate further in subsequent days.

On our 12 Days of Trading
As the year draws to a close we have been asked by clients to look and highlight 2018 trends since the introduction of MiFID II. We thought we might make this a festive exercise on the 12 days leading up to the holidays. As a result, you will find a post to a different 2018 big-xyt observation each day.
We hope you enjoy them.

About the Liquidity Cockpit
At big-xyt we take great pride in providing solutions to the complex challenges of data analysis. Navigating in fragmented markets remains a challenge for all participants. We recognise that the investing community needs and expects continued innovation as the volume of data and related complexity continues to increase.
Our Liquidity Cockpit is now recognised as an essential independent tool for exchanges, Sell-side and increasingly Buy-side market participants. Data quality is a key component, as is a robust process for normalisation so that like-for-like comparisons and trends over time have relevance. However, our clients most value a choice of flexible delivery methods which can be via interactive dashboard or direct access to underlying data and analysis through CSV, API or other appropriate mechanism.
