Solving for the Modern Front Office: Equity Trading Trends Reshaping Execution & P&L
In 30 minutes, a Bloomberg Intelligence market-structure analyst and a B-PIPE product manager will cover:
- High-touch ↔ low-touch execution toggles – Order flow moves back and forth between algorithms and human block traders as spreads, venue depth, and order size change. Each switch is a potential leak of spread or information; coordinating people and machines smoothly is now a direct driver of execution quality.
- Market Events and 0-DTE-driven volatility – Same-day-expiry options concentrate gamma risk into the next headline or data print, so prices and hedge requirements lurch in minutes rather than hours.
- Fragmented lit and dark liquidity – Quotes and prints are split across multiple lit exchanges, periodic auctions, and numerous dark venues, obscuring any single “true” price. Reliable best-execution demands a complete view of where size really resides and a routing strategy that adapts in real time.
