Posted on November 19, 2013 by Jennifer Reid

A big thanks to Incisive Media for today’s European Trading Architecture Summit (ETAS) at the Canary Wharf Hilton.

Single-dealer platforms: No longer the realm of innovators & early adopters

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Jennifer Reid

In 2010 I wrote Why are people building single-dealer platforms anyway? because I had to. In the technology adoption lifecycle, single-dealer platforms were still pretty much the realm of the innovators and early adopters and as a technology firm, we felt we were still slowly wading across the chasm.

SDP vs MDP volumes in 2009

At the time, the phrase “single-dealer platform” needed a lot of explanation, and while single-dealer platforms (SDPs) already accounted for 25% of all electronic FX volume back in 2010, the business benefits were something of a revelation to all but Continue reading →

Is the Doom Trade Over?

Posted on March 5, 2013 by Jennifer Reid

A big thanks to the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones for having a few of us from Caplin to Thursday night’s “Is the Doom Trade Over?” event at RSA House on the Strand. We were pleased to see an event themed around the cautious optimism that we’ve recently seen in the markets.

Katie Martin, Assistant Managing Editor of Money News, kicked off the evening with a bit of food for thought:

With the Euro crisis far from over and much of the region’s economy still mired in recession, political instability and social tensions could yet throw a wrench into efforts to stimulate growth. Will 2013 see a resurrection of euro breakup fears or is the market likely to come to see the euro as a currency that’s here to stay but that should more clearly reflect its troubled regions fundamentals? And if Europe is not the big risk for this year….what is?

So, were the doomsayers plain wrong?

Great question, great panel:

David Bloom (Global Head of Foreign Exchange Strategy, HSBC), Kit Juckes (Chief FX Strategist, Societe Generale), Paul Lambert (Head of Currency, Fixed Income, Insight Investment), and Paul McNamara (Investment Director, GAM). Continue reading →

• The panel will discuss the specific technological changes that have encouraged this new ease of entry into the marketplace – this will include discussions surrounding the web as a now viable trading platform, SAAS, and the Cloud.

10 years on Microsoft celebrate the death of IE6

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Jennifer Reid

10 years ago, a browser was born

IE6 was the most widely used web browser during its tenure, surpassing Internet Explorer 5.x. In 2002 and 2003, IE6 had a total market share of nearly 90%. Widely reported to be plagued with security problems, there have been for some time widespread frustrations from those in IT who have to support it. In 2010, a Downing Street petition called for the UK government to stop using IE6 and to upgrade to a newer browser.

These days, Microsoft is celebrating the demise of IE6 (with cake!) By December 2011 (as shown by the Internet Explorer Countdown page) IE6 was used by less than 1% of US internet surfers.

HTML5 shares the cake Continue reading →
