Trading Floors used to be busy, noisy places. Traders would rub shoulders, shouting, signalling and pulling faces as they bought, sold and made deals with each other. The rise of electronic trading systems and software platforms has seen the traditional 'open outcry' trading floors all but disppear. And with it has gone some of the human interaction that helped inform the markets. Trading Floor wants to bring that noise back.
We want to get markets rubbing shoulders, dealing - and shouting. Although Trading Floor is run by Saxo Bank - one of the most successful of the new generation of trading platforms - we want to bring all market participants together through this web site. Our contribution is the web site itself and the expertise of our own strategists and analysts and those of our partners.
Trading Floor is a work in progress - and will build as the weeks and months go by. We're starting with posts by David Karsbøl, John J Hardy and Christian Blaabjerg, with addtional reporting by Andrew Arnold.
