The Essential Guide to Alternative Trading Systems just released by Terrapinn

NEW YORK, March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A report covering all exchange and trading professionals need to know about Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) has just been released by Terrapinn. This is in response to FINRA CEO Rick Ketchum stating that there are growing demands from the wider trading community to better understand the role and scope of dark pools and other ATSs.

ATSs continue to grow and currently make up 40% of U.S. stock trading activity yet there is still a lot of confusion surrounding them. The report defines the different types of ATS's (dark pools, ECNs and matching networks), clarifies the advantages and disadvantages of each, and highlights the key ATSs in operation today.
