  • Steve Grob At Fidessa Criticises "Asinine" Letter From Marcus Ferber To ESMA On Periodic Auctions - The Periodic Table

    Date 12/04/2018

    Posted by Steve Grob on Thursday, April 12, 2018 · Leave a Comment 

    I read with interest, and some dismay, Sam Agini’s great piece in Financial News yesterday about Marcus Ferber writing to ESMA be-moaning periodic auctions. Perhaps the most asinine comment attributed to Mr Ferber is that some such mechanisms are a “blatant attempt to undermine the Mifid II provisions aiming at having a larger share of trading in the light”. It is hard to know where to start in deconstructing this statement, but let me have a go anyway. The last part really sums up everything that is wrong with the MiFID regulations. When will regulators and their political masters understand that the idea that “lit is good and dark is bad” is (a) wrong and (b) a gross oversimplification? So much so that it reminds me of Orwell’s sheep in Animal Farm bleating out “4 legs good two legs bad” as they seek to wrest control from their human masters. It’s not as if periodic auctions are anything new either as the concept of auctions has existed pretty much as long as trading has. And, just like the periodic table of elements, the idea covers a huge array of different entities each with their own specific properties and configurations. But, yet again, I fear that in “coming up with strategies”, as Mr Ferber asks, ESMA will ignore this and seek some sort of cap or other blunt instrument that does more harm than good.

  • Jordan Hiscott, Chief Trader At Ayondo Markets - “Bitcoin Has An Identity Crisis And Needs To Decide What Its Key Aspect Is For It To Be Truly Successful”

    Date 12/04/2018

    “Bitcoin is the largest and most well-known digital form of money, and the ideals of cryptography secured paperless transactions will be the future of monetary payments as we know it. The virtues of Bitcoin are clear, involving Blockchain, a publicly recordable technology, and insanely difficult and laborious mining aspects. However, I feel at present that Bitcoin in itself has an identity crisis. Is it these virtues or is it a hyper-turbocharged speculation tool, used by an ever-expanding trading community that has little use or care for Bitcoin as a monetary transaction, and instead is just chasing large exponential performance gains?"
