ReplyDeleteThe market is broken. I have never seeing in the "90 o before LEH's collapse traders awaiting to see the QE tender offers. Trading platforms won't solve a broken market. My worry is how banks will stop being addictive at QE? The market has been intervened by the ECB and we -the participants- are just simple puppets. In the morning we arrive into our desk, see what are the QE tenders, we sell and that's it. In the afternoon if a buy side wanted to buy or sell, we have nothing else. Our books are being downsized as never seeing before.... and now there are Asset Managers with trillions of bonds in their portfolios.... risks? asset managers becoming market-makers? is that part of their mandate? I don't think so. This is not good and I can simple foreseeing a big crisis coming soon if the "wise" regulators continue in this trend.... oh well....
ReplyDeleteBloomberg ALLQ (fixed income cash & deriv)
ReplyDeleteBloomberg BOLT (fixed income corp cash bond lists)
Bloomberg BBX (fixed income cash bonds, failed due to lack of participation, no volume, like many other venues)
Bloomberg TNT (this was renamed BBX few years ago, see BBX, failed due to lack of participation, no volume, like many other venues)
BOLT is an enhancement to ALLQ isn't it? I'll rename TNT to ALLQ in the list but I don't see BOLT as different in form to ALLQ.
Deleteno that wouldn't be correct. this is why. BOLT is for list trading only, rfq protocol only. ALLQ is for single security, rfq or order protocols. TNT should be renamed BBX for Bloomberg Cross, since it is a crossing platform. TNT has nothing to do with ALLQ, not even close since one is for crossing (BBX/TNT) and the other is D to C (ALLQ).

ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteI'm a reporter for a public finance newspaper. I am working on a story about e-trading and I stumbled upon your blog. I had some questions for you and was wondering how I can go about contacting you?
You can put your email address here, suitably obfuscated and I can email you.
DeleteOr, if you look at this blog, the URL is http://blog.alignment-systems.com
You can therefore work out the top-level domain. Then send an email to an email address "enquire" at that domain. It'll be picked up...
