Nominations for the 2026 Editors’ Choice and Innovation Awards across The TRADE’s prestigious Leaders in Trading and Leaders in Trading New York are now open.
Don’t miss your chance to have your say in the winners for this year. Awards span across asset classes, and include recognitions for trading, market data, trading venues, and technology.
Participants have until 4 September to nominate their winners across the two awards ceremonies.
The Editors’ Choice Awards will recognise both firms and individuals which have gone above and beyond in 2026. While we create shortlists for these categories within our editorial judging panel, we welcome nominations and supporting information to assist our decision-making process.
The Innovation Awards will recognise the product launches, initiatives, and services which The TRADE believe are the most innovative within the trading and execution space. These awards are also a chance to recognise firms which have made a difference through an innovative approach to the industry over the past year. Please note we select a handful of winners based on entries, with no shortlists published.
The TRADE’s annual gala awards nights will be taking place in their usual style. Leaders in Trading at The Savoy Hotel in London on 5 November, and Leaders in Trading New York on 19 November at Chelsea Piers in NYC.
Should you wish to attend either of the awards, please contact serena.franklin@thetradenews.com to book a table for the dinner.
