New Approaches to Modern Trading Room Design
A-Team Group Poll
In today’s financial markets, trading firms face constant pressures in a fiercely competitive environment. Providing best execution and superlative customer service is fundamental to attracting order flow. Running trading operations efficiently is also an imperative, to minimize costs internally and to offer best value to customers. Despite the increase in recent years of automated and algorithmic trading, the human touch is as important as ever in financial trading. Traders bring a wealth of experience to the art of trading, even when it is driven by computer-generated indicators. Their experience and relationships are vital to seeking out liquidity and efficient execution.
Trading operations overall need to be agile and flexible in order to meet ever changing demands and to rapidly exploit business opportunities. The regrouping of traders to react to – even pre-empt – market demand, requires trading positions that can be immediately configured to individual trader’s preference and information needs. At the same time, management and operational costs of trading operations need to be driven down in reaction to the ever downward pressure on margins. Whether costs are reduced through sharing of information services, through a reduction in maintenance costs, or change management costs, it all adds to the bottom line.
Fortunately, new approaches to trading room design, allowing the remote deployment of both servers and desktop PC hardware, together with dynamic allocation of resources to facilitate ‘hot desk’ working address these key requirements for agility, flexibility, manageability and cost containment.
