Super SOES issues

short update on new super soes system.

positives:
- should help out a lot as far as normalizing 
the spread, the spread will come back to 
positive to zero and no negative 
and there should not be 
any crossover markets in there anymore.
this will open up an opportunity for mm
to fast arbitrage any mispricing fast and 
the market will be normalized
- should  normalize ecn vs mm 
market.  the problem  "dual" ecn vs mm market
should be corrected by this new system
- faster execution and better fills for traders 
overall. smaller spreads and less noise in the markets.
- manipulation will be a little bit harder to accomplish 
at the inside market and mm will have to adjust their
techniques.
- noise should decrease a bit as the market 
normalizes itself and becomes more efficient.
- desc. traders can get back to reading 
L2 screen now with probably even better 
results then before decimilization.
- systematic traders will get a lot faster fills
and less slippage on their executions.

negatives:
- however market makers now will be able 
to execute orders and large size in full auto, 
fast and furious. sizes might increase at 
the inside market which is not a big deal.
- in general super soes will result in larger 
profits for mm from market friction.
as the market becomes more efficient speculation
will become a bit less profitable and mm will become 
more profitable. 
- mm will be easier to accomplish. but that 
will create competition between the market makers 
and make market making business even 
more competitive.

overall super soes is definitely a major relief 
from the problems that decimalization 
created. the market should normalize 
quite a bit and  the main thing:
THE MARKET WILL BECOME A LOT 
MORE EFFICIENT ( at least on the order 
processing system side ). agents reaction time 
will be reduced as market makers will be able 
to react faster to new information intake.
information factoring will take less time 
which will increase market efficiency.
inefficiencies will be taken out faster but 
the market rule base will not change on that...

overall it's good news for everybody.
the market will become a lot fairer :-)

hope that helps.
bilo.
