CESR outlining its position on MTFs and Dark Pools

July 16, 2010 - PRLog -- The chairman, Eddy Wymeersch, said that the CESR will meet this month to agree its comments on the MiFiD review, which will be passed to the European Commission in October.

It is fundamental that market practitioners and regulators keep up to date with the latest developments and participate in consultations.

In its 3rd year running, TradeTech Liquidity 2010 (http://www.wbresearch.com/tradetechliquidity/) gives you the opportunity to make your voice heard and opinions count.

The timing could hardly be better: taking place on November 25th, in London, this event coincides with the European Commission’s consultation period for MiFID II which means that the TradeTech Regulatory Council and the representatives from CESR and the European Commission will use the conference audience as a focus group before they put the final touches on the latest MiFiD Directive. So, this is the final opportunity for you to submit your feedback to the regulators and influence their decisions.

This year’s TradeTech Liquidity will bring together 200 Heads of Trading Desk from long-only buy side firms, hedge funds and high-frequency traders. This is an invitation-only, interactive and intimate one-day forum with long panel discussions, debates, interviews and roundtables hosted by independent moderators that will dig deeper into the hottest issues in the industry:

- Accessing Liquidity
- Regulation
- Transaction Cost Analysis
- High Frequency Trading and Technology
- Accessing Multiple Dark Pools
- Achieve Best Execution
- Smart Order Routing

"TradeTech Liquidity is a useful forum that provides a convenient summary of industry trends."  
Yavuz Arikan, Head Trader, Cedar Rock Capital

Here’s some of the topics that will be discussed:
• How can one determine which pools to connect with to access greater liquidity?
• What will the implications of MiFID II on trading & market structure be? Will a level-playing field finally be achieved for everyone?
• Are high-frequency trading & automated markets the Achilles Heel of the markets or simply a political myth?
• How to achieve consolidated tape transparency & full disclosure of execution and terms of transactions?
