  • Corrected: Pilot May Lose Direction When New Exchanges Appear, By Kelvin To, Founder And President Of Data Boiler Technologies

    Date 05/06/2019

    Kevin_To

    Last year, I wrote a 10-page recommendation letter to the SEC covering various market structure topics. The key points were as follow:

    • Recalibration of the access fee cap. A must if order protection, best execution rules and other NMS provisions remain as-is. The cap is, in essence, the maximum toleration of exploitation. Bad behaviors will still be nourished and abusers will seek alternate ways to circumvent the control.
    • Conflicts and disputes would be better resolved through the market. Order protection and access rules might be able to rollback by having a new rule to ban exchanges, alternative trading systems, and internalizers from running data and technology businesses (mutually exclusive).
    • This separation replaces the wickedness of a distorted economy of scope with efficiency gains (fewer fights, more cooperation, and better economy of scale) via better delineation of rights and it will help preserve healthy competition.
    • Enable trading platforms to shape the markets and own up to the consequences of what they design. SROs will set boundaries for market-makers and give out ‘inspection stickers’.
    • Market-Makers’ privileges will be auctioned where designated G-SIBs / SIFIs will enjoy rights to handle complex activities that match their market-making specialties and obligations and fix the “everybody owns, nobody owns” behaviors. Leverages HFTs’ ability to response in a timely fashion to flash warnings and liquidity crunch.
    • If these separation and realignment suggestions can be adopted, consolidated audit trail should be revised for better market surveillance using stream analytics in real-time, and the economic resources devoted to in this access fee pilot can be saved and market integrity will be revitalized!
