As the financial industry digests the SEC's long-awaited decision on Payment-for-Order-Flow – and Netflix's treatment of the GameStop saga that brought about the intense scrutiny of the controversial policy - we spoke to the CEO of a professional trading firm with an unusual degree of familiarity with the world of financial regulation.
As Payment-for-Order-Flow (PFOF) is coming under increased scrutiny in both the US and EU, professional trading chiefs propose a unique solution of their own.
The trading of Twitter shares over the past couple of weeks has been at an all-time high for retail investors. In April so far, trades in the stock have been 11x higher than the monthly average since 2020, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced today the membership of the Market Structure Advisory Committee (MSAC) for the 2021–2023 term. Established in 2011, the MSAC serves as a forum to discuss issues associated with market structure and marketplace operations.
The MSAC also acts as a source of input and feedback for OSC staff to help facilitate the development of policy and rule-making initiatives that promote investor protection, fair and efficient capital markets, and confidence in those markets.
Mr. Schlaepfer is pleased that ASIC’s truth defence has been struck down, rejecting the finding that Select Vantage Inc. (SVI) traders had engaged in market manipulation.
"The bull, it seems, has gone berserk. What had been a relentless but mostly orderly rise in stock prices since last spring has given way to a riotous new phase of the bull market, fuelled by frenzied trading among the growing ranks of small investors and rookie day traders."
"The unprecedented battle between small investors and big-money pros took a sharp turn Thursday, as Wall Street hit back"
There has been considerable coverage of the rise of day trading since the onset of the pandemic.
