Is Bloomberg part of this? Is it in “Other Venues”? Is this on number of trades or volume? Over what period of time?
So many questions……

a) The period is for the month of May 2008 only
b)It is based on the number of trades Xtrakter processed by Xtrakter during that period only
c)Bloomberg in Europe does not have a MIC code and is therefore only a conduit that aids execution and not a venue itself, market participants can report Bloomberg trades by listing them as OTC or migrating to a designed execution venue
d) important to note that systematic internalisers are not listed within the data
e) dark pool trades could be included in the OTC figure – as market participants could report them in that capacity
