Darwinian Software. Its a fact. Google rocked the “Geek-eratti” last week announcing that they had scuttled MapReduce in favor of Dataflow.

We’ve got multiple EMIR reporting implementations going on right now and its worth commenting on the current state of EMIR trade reporting. After having done a ton of Dodd-Frank reporting implementations, I can tell you that EMIR is turning out to be a bigger headache. Anyone care to put out an over/under on the Feb

For three weeks commodities participants were left in the cold (see previous post). Today, ESMA has closed that gap and officially approved the remaining two applicants, ICE Trade Vault and CME. With everyone running to hit the February 12th deadline, Commodities participants were left in a holding pattern, as most were looking for a TR

In case you did not already know, last week the European regulatory authority ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) approved 4 of the 6 applicants as official Trade Repositories (TR’s) for derivatives trade reporting under EMIR regulations. We do expect the remaining two to be approved shortly…more on that below. This means the deadline of

Now here is something really worthy to say “At Last!!!!” CME is FINALLY adding CBOT trades to the CTAPI. This has been a sticking point for clients for years, that they can’t get their CBOT trades electronically fed from the exchange. We are an approved CME vendor, so if you have questions, please get in

Both are stepping down. Fresh on the heels of position limit and entity aggregation rules. (More on that later). I’ll get on my soapbox for a minute. The biggest risk for poor outcomes in commodities and derivatives regulation is regulators who do not understand the nuanced details of these products. When you cross complex products

Reconciliation and dispute resolution goes live this month. Our read is that no one…I mean no one… is really ready for this deadline. The paperwork? Not done yet.

Keep your betting pools going on the EMIR Trade Reporting deadline. EMIR has officially moved the reporting deadline from Jan 1st 2014 to February 12th 2014 due to delays in approving official Trade Repositories (TR). Apparently some of the TR’s didn’t fill in their applications correctly. Um…sure…if you say so ESMA. I’d say the delay

News made the rounds last week that ESMA was holding off on requiring ETD deals be reported to TRs until sometime in 2015. Good news, I guess. Leading up to this un-official decision you may have found yourself in the following situations: Trying to convince certain executives that EMIR is a “real deal” and that

StandardiZation, StandardiSation. Why can’t we all just agree??? With the Dodd-Frank SDR reporting inching slow ahead to full steam in the US, how have we fared thus far? Truthfully? Not so well!

We are considering taking spread bets. Here’s what we learned from Dodd Frank in the US: TR submission is inextricably linked to the Electronic Confirm Process.
Sharing information is important. If you have any questions about any of these, don’t hesitate to email me. In Texas it’s illegal to graffiti someone’s cow. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up. So at some point someone in Texas took branding a bit too far. And a legislature got into a knot and viola
