Research by Greenwich Associates (released in March 2010) states that around the world, multi-bank electronic trading platforms captured about 40% of overall FX trading volume in 2008-2009 and single-bank platforms captured another 15%.

WallStreet & Technology touches on an interesting topic relating to last weeks near 1,000 point fall in the Dow in late US trading. Data released by Gomez Inc (see chart at end of article), shows many on-line trading platforms struggled to cope with the resulting surge in investor activity, with some platforms showing a 10 fold increase in the...
