Claudia Preece delves into findings from The TRADE’s most recent Algorithmic Trading Survey, Long-only, which demonstrated a clear bifurcation in the industry between long-only firms who use five or more algo providers, and those who use just one.

Ahead of the launch of The TRADE’s EMS Survey for 2025, Wesley Bray dives into the findings from last year’s iteration, exploring key progressions as well as which areas should be front of mind for the development of the sphere.

In celebration of The TRADE’s twentieth birthday, editor Annabel Smith rounds up the 20 greatest trading innovations of the last few decades, exploring the solutions that have overhauled and reimagined the processes that traders depend on day in and day out to execute in the markets.

Annabel Smith explores the potential contenders to provide the European equities consolidated tape following the opening of ESMA’s consultation, unpacking the watchdog’s rules around consortiums, the future role of data providers, and assessing if anyone will step up to the plate to contend with EuroCTP, the only current bidder and exchange-backed initiative.

With data becoming unavoidably vital to the trading desk, Wesley Bray explores how traders are delving past traditional TCA and collaborating with data scientists on the desk to help gain a deeper understanding of market dynamics, in order to make better informed trading decisions.
