eTrading Ecosystem - a mindmap

Product Ideas for the Sell side, Buy side, Vendors & Venues

Given most of my meetings are now cancelled or are on WebEx, due the Corona virus scare, I thought it would be a good time to share this little mindmap I was thinking of putting together for a while. There are market micro-structures that are not represented here, so this view can apply to both FX and liquid Rates products that are electronically traded. I would even go on to say that it also applies to liquid Credit products, but not all of it.

This a view from a fictitious eTrading desk on the dealer side

If you are on the sell-side, you might want to consider if your desk has product strategy in place for most of what is highlighted/ intended here?

If you are on the buy-side, you might want to consider if either your dealer's Agency desk or dealer Trading desk that you usually face as a counterparty, implemented some of the features that will positively impact your trading strategy, if offered by them?

If you are are on a vendor or a venue side, you might want to consider if there are any clear use cases here that you can offer a solution or service for?
