Quite likely, by the year 2000, floor trading will be totally eliminat- ed in Europe, predominantly in favor of electronic con- tinuous markets. Some of the new electronic systems are call mar- kets, however, including the Tel Aviv StockExchange, the Paris Bourse (for thinner issues), and the Bolsa Mexicana's intermediate market. In this article, we con- sider the call market as an alternative trading environ- ment that is particularly suitable to computerization. Recognizing the combined power of the com- puter and the call, several proprietary trading systems have introduced electronic batched trading in the United States.

  • New Approach to the Regulation of Trading Across Securities Markets, A
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VoLuME 71 DECEMBER 1996 - NUM-BER 6 A NEW APPROACH TO THE REGULATION OF TRADING ACROSS SECURITIES MARKETS YAKOV AMImHU* HAIM IVIENDELSON** In this Article, ProfessorsAmihud and Mendelson propose that a securities issuer should have the exclusive right to determine in which markets its securities will be traded, in contrast to the current regulatoryscheme under which markets may uni- laterally enable trading in securities without issuer consent Professors Amihud and Mendelson demonstrate that the tradingregime of a security affects its liquidity, and consequently its value, and that multinmarket tradingby some securitiesholders may produce negative externalities that harm securities holders collectively. Under the current scheme; some markets compete for orderflow from individuals by low- eringstandards, thereby creatingthe need for regulatoryoversight. A rule requiring issuer consent would protect the liquidity interests of issuers and of securitieshold- ers as a group. ProfessorsAmihud and Mendelson addresstie treatment of deriva- tive securities under their scheme, proposing a fair use test that would balance the issuer's liquidity interest against the public's right to use price information freely. The authors suggest that under their proposed rule, markets will compete to attract securities issuers by implementing and enforcing value-maximizing trading rules, thereby providing a market-based solution to market regulation. * Professor and Yamaichi Faculty Fellow, Stern School of Business, New York Univer- sity.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) responded by proposing rule 15~2-10,a filing requirement for automated trading and information systems.' The proposed rule was the first direct regulatory action aimed specifically at automated trading markets. Since then, the growth in automated trade execution systems on a worldwide basis has been explosive. In the United States alone, there are roughly twenty such mechanisms, including completely automated exchanges, exchange facil- ities with automated trade execution components, and proprietary systems not currently regulated as exchanges.* Growth in regulatory initiatives and analysis with respect to this new form of financial market structure quickly followed. These efforts can be classified in four general ways. There are the obvious hardware and software concerns that are generic in the oversight of any computerized system.

  • The Regulation of Proprietary Trading Systems
    Failure to Engage: The Regulation of Proprietary Trading Systems Polly Nyquistt Like much of the world, the securities business has been dramatically affected by the development of computer technology. In an industry where speed and information are the tools of the trade, computer systems that increase traders' ability to gather information and execute faster trades have been welcomed and widely applied. The role of computers has taken a variety of forms. The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ) system market, which is currently the second largest volume market in the United States, has no single physical location and is almost exclusively computer-driven. Even the more traditional physical exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) have computerized many of their functions. This Article will focus on one new development in the convergence of computer technology and the securities industry: the emergence of proprietary trading systems (PTSs). PTSs are for-profit systems, owned by broker-dealers or other private entities, that offer traders an alternate market, or exchange facility, in which to execute trades. While the volume of trading on PTSs is relatively small, these systems represent the beginning of a new trend in securities trading and may be a harbinger of broader changes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has highlighted the unique regulatory problems presented by the recent explosive growth of these systems in its "Market 2000" report and has promulgated a new rule to increase reporting requirements for these systems. More recently, the SEC has proposed another regulation aimed at increasing public access to information about trading interest displayed in these systems.

Nowak* The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.' The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is an anachronism. Formed in the early years of the industrial revolution,2 the NYSE is the archetype of the U.S. system of stock exchanges, indeed, the model for' stock exchanges the world over. Nonetheless, it is an idea whose time has come and gone. This Note does not advocate eliminating the exchange of stock. Instead, this Note offers a much more "modest proposal."3 This Note proposes the elimination of the least efficient' link in the communication process between buyers and sellers of stock and derivative financial instruments-the physical exchanges-in favor of a completely automated communication and exchange process.
