i trade financial futures and cash equity. i realize ibanks offer leveraged bets on all kinds of nonsense to provide a "service", but pretty much any strategy known to humanity can be achieved on an exchange with negligible counterparty risk
- cm2187 10y agoBeing centrally cleared to reduce counterparty risk and being traded electronically on an exchange are two distinct things. Electronic trading does change dramatically the shape and profile of a trading floor. Introducing central clearing with margining not so much. You won't achieve electronic trading anytime soon on products where there are perhaps at most 200-300 buyers in the world, must of who are only interested in buying big chunks.
