A new blockchain organization has been put together to standardize a new commodities trading platform.
The Swiss-based venture, dubbed komgo SA, has been established by a host of international financing, trading, and production institutions that include ABN AMRO, BNP Paribas, Citi, Credit Agricole Group, Gunvor, ING, Koch Supply & Trading, Macquarie, Mercuria, MUFG Bank, Natixis, Rabobank, Shell, SGS, and Societe Generale.Â
âThe first [komgo product] will standardize and facilitate the know-your-customer [KYC] process. The second […] will be a digital letter of credit, allowing commodity houses or other platforms to submit digital trade data and documents to the komgo customer banks of their choice.â

Some industry highlights from the article below
Last spring, automated market maker and Modern Markets Initiative (MMI) member firm GTS agreed to buy Barclays Plcâs Designated Market Marker (DMM) business on the New York Stock Exchange floor, giving the firm responsibility to oversee trading for more than 1,200 blue chip securities. Following this transaction, GTS is leveraging these corporate relationships to partner with banks, helping them to trade in other asset classes such as foreign exchange.
Credit Suisse Groupâs Wake USA formed a partnership with MMI member firm Tower Research Capital. That arrangement allows the Swiss bank to leverage Towerâs technology platform to manage its customer-facing electronic rates business.
And recently, Virtu Financial Inc, another global electronic market maker, announced a three-year agreement with JP Morgan Chase & Co. to help the bank trade more efficiently in the US treasury market.

High-Speed Traders Woo More Asia Recruits Than âGloomyâ Banks
For students like Sun Jiaxuan at the National University of Singapore, the future of finance is all about high-frequency trading firms, not the Wall Street banks that graduates once aspired to.

Some may not know, but there is an open source language called Julia that is trying to be like Python but faster. It seems one of my followers better known as the NYC Contact sent me this.
Check here to see how you can speed up Julia
Lastly, Dr. Paul Cottrell did a 90 minute presentation on the history of the Bank of Japan. Other minor topics were discussed as well. The webinar was recorded so do check it out here.
I’m still struggling to get this Python script for position management on open positions for market exit potential. As a newbie. sometimes Python never cooperates when I want it to.

All thanks to HFT and high speed trading firms like Virtu
From Bloomberg, Feb 7, 2016, 7:15:00 PM
Charlie Stenger, a currency-broker-turned-recruiter, has seen it all. One fired trader wept in his office. Another admitted he hadnât told his wife he was unemployed, and left the house every day in a suit to sneak off to a coffee shop. Then there are the delusional guys, who carefully explain how theyâre not interested in jobs that donât pay as well as those they just lost.

As they say, cry me a frigging river!
âThe business has to be downsized,â said Keith Underwood, a foreign-exchange consultant who ended a 25-year trading career, including at Lloyds Banking Group Plc, in 2014. But itâs not easy âfor people who have been in a market for many, many years to see that theyâve been replaced by an algorithm.â
Humans are up against formidable opponents across the industry. Take Virtu Financial Inc. Deploying sophisticated technology in the business, the companyâs computers can trade more than 11,000 securities and other products on more than 225 trading platforms in 35 countries. Because automation is so deeply ingrained in its business, it had only about 150 employees last year — generating more than $5 million per worker.
ADAPT OR DIE!
