Regulation arbitrage equation

2015 has established a wide rift in our regulation market where without doubt certain countries & exchanges differ from others . These divisions of regulation does question whether ALL competition is good fair & orderly . New exchanges open with mass hype and promises of low costs , liquidity and hopes of cementing an arbitrage opportunit...

Central banks QE medicine no longer working!

This round of buying was caused by the spike in Bund yields which popped to come within a whisker of the 1% level as the bond rout in European fixed income markets continued. Yesterday, during the ECB presser, President Draghi noted that fixed income markets could become much more volatile given the very low yield levels. This is perhaps the unin...

ZERO TOLERANCE

Recent fines and admissions from regulators in many markets from commodities to currencies has proved that market abuse is sadly rife in our exchanges . I have been brave enough over the last decade to question the relevant authorities that the need for speed has provided a mask for mass market abuse . The same discussion occurred with both with A...

Exchanges integrity need questioning

CAN THE REAL SPOOFER STAND UP ? Navindar Savao lawyer really needs to ask why his client had hundreds of thousands of orders processed by exchanges ? Perhaps he would be better off pleading guilty to certain charges of manipulation and indeed question why Market supervision dept failed to halt his orders . Paul Rotter ; the famous Flipper ; ht...

Assisted regulation and virtual pits

The recent claim by CME exchange and assisted regulators that its taken 5 years of monitoring to catch "Nav" the spoofer proves that perhaps anonymity trading no longer is required ? Perhaps now is the time for a virtual pit where the market can see all the players ? Many years ago L.I.F.F.E produced an after hour system on screen cal...

Why can exchanges exploit fair and orderly markets .

I am constantly asked about market abuse and manipulation within our markets and how best to combat these undesirable threats . Since entering the trading arena in 1982 I have witnessed a number of abuses BUT have always believed that exchanges have monitored a fair and orderly market place ;however I now struggle to accept this especially with E...

regulators finally begin to outpace physicists in race to catch market manipulators !

ESMA want HFT venues to syncronize their clocks to within a nano second to help exchange supervisors track market abuses . This is a proirity to link the time stamp acknowledging an order after receiving a trade request ; ie gateway to gateway latency and time . This ability of HFT to process orders faster than rivals using techno

HAS HIGH SPEED PINGING FINALLY BEEN CAPTURED ?

HAS HIGH SPEED PINGING FINALLY FOUND A CATEGORY IN MARKET ABUSE ? HFT has tip toed through the market abuse field for years BUT now looks finally to have been captured . Under the COMMODITY EXCHANGE ACT (ECA) and the prohobition of spoofing ; "bidding or offering wth the intent to cancel before execution " has placed their 90% cancellat

2015 exchanges regulate !!!!!!!!

2015 Exchanges attempt to end disruptive trading Multiple exchanges after a decade of denial are now addressing illegal manipulative trading on their markets !These disruptive practices ; "spoofing ; flipping ; crossing ;washing and layering " have been brushed under the supervisors carpet since 2004 . Certain STIR contracts daily have h...

rats in the granary

Perhaps now the supporters of "dark pools " and HFT at exchanges can retreat to where they belong .......... out of the market place ! In yesterday’s complaint, filed in New York state Supreme Court in new york, Schneiderman describes how closely Barclays worked with high-frequency trading firms even as it was telling other clients that i...
