  • MatchView: A New Way to Access and Interpret Post-Trade Data from European Dark Venues

    Posted 2010-03-18 15:17 in Greenspan Investment

    From Paul Scott, Global Head of Liquidity Discovery, NYSE Technologies:

    At NYSE Technologies, we recently announced our partnership with SmartPool — the Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) jointly owned by NYSE Euronext and HSBC, J.P. Morgan, and BNP Paribas — to provide MatchView, a new service designed to help traders and other market participants to access, interpret, and navigate post-trade data published by European dark trading venues.

    MatchView will be a module within ioinet, the NYSE Technologies’ liquidity discovery platform (acquired via NYFIX), and it will be populated with information from the SmartPool post-trade data feed, which is carried by our market data product, SuperFeed.

    Leveraging the analytic capabilities of ioinet, we created custom screens based on SmartPool trading data to give real-time insight into and unique graphical ways to look at the trading activity of the dark pool. Further, SmartPool plans to grow the content of MatchView to include the other European dark trading pools, and potentially, broker dark pools as well. There will be a new level of transparency to the European markets that is keenly anticipated by SmartPool clients and the marketplace at large.

    I am excited about this initiative as it demonstrates ioinet’s ability to serve as a desktop toolkit for our clients to source liquidity. They can now see not only off-market, broker-provided liquidity, but also dark trading activity. The ability to leverage the vast amount of market data that we have internally to create new products for the market, in a very short timeframe, demonstrates how NYSE Euronext continues to leverage the NYFIX acquisition for our clients’ benefit and the rapid growth in our relationship with SmartPool.

    The ability to create custom ways to look at data sets the ioinet platform apart in the market. For a deeper view into our liquidity discovery tool, go to www.alter-your-perspective.com.

  • 婚活加油

            婚活­=找結婚對象,心情是認真的。


     


      從事婚活大概有幾個管道:透過網路、加入婚友社成為會員、不定期參加婚友社舉辦的活動,但不管花樣怎麼變,實質上就是「相親」,只是老派的相親有媒人在場,現在沒有。


     


      前些日子跟久不見的朋友去迪斯尼玩,大家邊排隊邊聊,其中一位說她從積極事婚活有段時間了。所有的人都看著她,先是有點驚訝,接下來是興致沖沖的開問,最後都很為她拍拍手。


     


      問到戰果,她說,幾次下來,只有一次是見了面聊過後覺得還不錯,之後進一步相約去看了場足球賽,但也僅止於此,結果是對方畫下句點,那大部分的經驗是見了面後的心裡立刻哀嚎,怎麼照片跟人差這麼多?今天的這一小時浪費了!


     


      輕鬆談笑中,那種「尋不到」的無奈與現實在之後回想起來,旁觀者的我倒有說不出的複雜感。


      


      就多多嘗試的角度來說,不論透過怎麼樣的管道,總之盡量積極接受人家的介紹這點跟找工作時狂寄履歷表相同,但尋找對象時如果意識性的抱持與前一個人做比較,再期待下一個人時,我覺得要能手牽手進禮堂也很困難,因為有點像石頭越減越小的感覺。


     


      當然結婚是一輩子的事情,挑對象不能草率,我問那位朋友有哪些基本條件?她說「收入」很重要!其它的只要感覺對就好。


      


      幾天後,我介紹了一個跟她同年齡,知名大學畢業,長相身高普通,同樣想結婚,但沒她那麼積極行動,收入方面也符合她的期待,但體型稍大的男生跟她認識,那天大家就是輕鬆的吃喝聊天,我這位介紹人也沒有提早離席,觀察他們兩人的互動,也許都是有相當的工作上歷練的關係,感覺上話題沒有間斷過。


     


      兩天後,在與女主角的電子信件聯絡中,我隱約嗅出女主角應該對男主角沒感覺,為了不讓她感到壓力,我開玩笑的說,胖子可以減肥,但是禿頭長不出頭髮。這麼說的理由是我主觀假設了男主角的體積龐大是減分的原因之一,那其實日本人很在意隱私,除非自己要說,不然不喜歡別人過問,即便問也會輕描淡寫帶過,總之是有些秘密主義做法,因為這樣,哪天就真的收到這兩位要結婚的喜帖也不是不可能的事情,那我除了恭喜跟禮金之外,絕不會過於追問過程。


     


      但回到原點,人與人真的不交往不知道,於是我會告訴想結婚的朋友們,除非對方是一個不想讓你再看一眼或真的連坐下來喝杯咖啡都不願意的人,要不然碰過面後應該要試著想想看對方不錯的地方,比方,如果你是個很話題比較豐富的人,而對方不是,那你也許可想成對方是個傾聽能力較好的人,這樣才能緣分不絕!
