May 20, 2008 - Firms trade securities on more than one exchange or alternative trading venue. Knowing when, where, and how to trade can be a challenge, and it’s getting harder all the time as the markets evolve, new participants enter the market, and new regulations are passed. Finding and analyzing market liquidity quickly, especially when liquidity is spread out across multiple exchanges and exchange-like entities is extremely challenging and getting more so.
In addition, while trade sizes are decreasing and quote volumes are rapidly rising, the landscape is constantly changing. And with the ongoing consolidation of trading venues while new ones emerge, liquidity fragmentation and fiercer competition for liquidity has resulted. New tools are needed that can scale to analyze market volumes, deliver a single comprehensive view of the fragmented market, and maintain the low-latency profile that is required in today’s electronic markets.
Join Aleri, Sun, ACTIV Financial and Lab49 for an in depth panel discussion, designed to help discover solutions to successfully navigate through the fragmented markets by analyzing and aggregating all venues into one virtual, full depth of market order book. A demo of Aleri’s new Market Liquidity Analysis (MLA) Engine will be provided, and the evening will end with some networking coupled with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
What you will learn:
* What is the state of liquidity in the market today and how will it change in the future?
* Go beyond simply determining the best price.
* Enable your firm to determine, in real-time, where the liquidity is, the price at depth, and the trends over time in both
price and liquidity
* Gain market insight for strategy trading, including arbitrage and technical analysis across 40+ liquidity pools.
* Apply custom analytics against full market depth for decision support, smart order routing, and compliance.
