How many Fixed Income trading venues are there? [183] Last update 11th November 2023] A simple question came up recently in a conversation – how many new Fixed Income trading venues are there? I could not think of anywhere that maintained a comprehensive list, so I decided to try and put something together. A global list of Fixed Income Trading Venues with a change log

Windows equivalent of UNIX "touch" command

Banks and Car companies

Readers of this blog will probably be aware of the author's love of an analogy, technology, finance and cars.
