FT Trading Room is a new section of FT.com providing a single source of intelligence for breaking news, analysis and comment on the world of equities and derivatives trading. In addition, it also provides information on exchanges, alternative trading platforms, clearing, settlement, regulation of these areas and information on trading technology and the firms that provide this.
FT Trading Room is also an online community and includes features such as a chat room for trading professionals, a weekly video interview with an industry expert and a dedicated section on the latest hires and job moves. The site will aggregate existing content from FT.com as well as its own specific content. Editorial content for areas such as China and India will be provided by the FT’s extensive global network.
