June 6, 2016--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has issued today an economic report on order duplication and liquidity measurement in EU equity markets.
Order duplication means that traders replicate the same order on multiple trading venues at the same time. The report, which takes into account high-frequency trading (HFT), finds that overall multi-venue trading has increased the liquidity in EU equity markets. But the report also shows that 20% of orders across European venues are duplicated and 24% of duplicated trades are immediately cancelled if unmatched.
