“This requires services such as an alerts capability to highlight particular issues that are relevant to that user,” he says. “There must also be a feedback loop so that conclusions derived from TCA are fed back into the trading process – for example, making sure that the post-trade analysis can be used to inform pre-trade decision-making.”
