I think that the proposed reduction to one minute reporting other than help investor protection will create a lot of problems for member firms, specially small firms. I think (and I am sure will happen more with small firms) that the number of errors in ticket generation will increase tremendously. This will then create delays in matching and settling trades (in addition to TRACE violations for not matching or reporting on time). This will also have a monetary impact (again, more in small firms) because of the need to "automate" as much as possible their systems.

Transitioning to a 1 minute reporting time frame would make it more expensive for clients and make it harder for small firms like us to truly obtain best execution as we would be limited to only trading through our clearing firm. It’s a horrible idea and needs to be eliminated.

The 1 minute rule proposed would be very difficult for small broker dealers to keep, and would represent a major hurdle to our fixed income business. Most small broker dealers as is our case do not have a dedicate trading desk to handle this proposed new 1 minute rule, nor do they have the state of the art software that big firms may have access to. While compliance may be possible, this would likely dramatically increase errors and result in a worse execution outcome between counterparties.
