VerifyMyTrade collates market reference data against which brokers’ price execution can be benchmarked. A report on a statistically meaningful sample across a month could be compared to this reference data in order to provide a report to present to regulators as proof of the fairness of execution prices. VerifyMyTrade does not believe it is cost effective to perform the analysis in real time and provides a one day delayed result.

The new obligation under MiFID II is for firms to take “all sufficient steps” – a higher standard indeed. However, ESMA have said that this overarching requirement should not be interpreted to mean that a firm must obtain the best possible results for its clients on every single occasion. Rather, firms will need to verify on an on-going basis that their execution arrangements work well throughout the different stages of the order execution process.

VerifyMyTrade allows brokers to continually monitor execution quality. Naturally, execution quality will vary on the positive and negative side of the benchmark, but will ultimately show that the majority of positions taken are well executed, complying with MiFID requirements and ESMA guidelines.
