December 28, 2022 It is sad that disclosure of order execution information needs improvement. In essence, these are receipts. If the American population, the retail trader, is to have faith in the financial markets then we need to know, not trust, that our money is being well handled and that our interests are the heart of the industry that was developed to keep our interests fairly on the level with those of the largest individual or institution. For that reason, we need to be able to see how our orders are being handled, where they are being executed, at what times, at what prices, and so much more. There has been a degradation of the markets, anyone can see that as plain as day, and the public's faith and trust in the markets has waned as a result. It's time for transparent market activities, and it's time to provide us the information and tools necessary to verify, so that we can get back to trust (but still, verify). It is unconscionable that we are so regularly required to prove, and to provide information, by our agents int he markets yet they provide us with the bare minimum of information to make sure that these markets stay private, for the rich and by the rich. Change the markets, or the markets will change themselves. It's time to stop them from changing themselves into something worse than it has already become.
