Interesting names: Ab Chipsters Food Oy Aqua Farms Vartdal AS Bravo Seafood AS Helen Oy Lobster Seafood Sweden AB Not really the big names, but there must be a reason why there are food companies from overseas.
My quick 2 cents. I hate fragmented markets. I would rather have one market places where all orders go to, so every order is accessible in one place with price discovery. In the US, there are now 15 equity options exchanges all with different models. I think this is terrible for the public. Terrible for MM. Good for the exchanges and the institutions that want to cross blocks. If futures do that, it will be terrible too.
lots of the upper end platforms, TT, stellar and cqg have the market aggregator function to route the orders where liquidity is best but this is too fancy for me...
For what it is worth, Wedbush futures can clear these and " NFX exchange is accessible Via CQG and TT."
Yes. NFX has already taken a bit of NYMEX and ICE business. If you are trading calendar spreads, you will have the same B/A spread for gasoil on NFX than on ICE Europe, with 50 shown instead of 500...I know most ETers trade 800 lots a clip but for us mere mortals it is a nice saving on exchange fees...Advantage is a founding member. They told me they can go really low for clearing on NFX.
It looks like lately NASDAQ is the only exchange looking to maintain or reduce the data and exchange fees.This trend needs to stop. Go NASDAQ.
