To reduce bias, we also excluded clients whose executions were concentrated in any single counterparty or execution strategy. We applied additional materiality tests to ensure each category is represented by a sufficient number of orders and clients. In addition to general dark and lit venue groups, our categorisation applies a more granular view into types of execution venues available under MiFID II.
Category Null captures trades with invalid MIC codes. We observe no material changes in the aggregate use of dark MTF venues until March, when we start to see a slight drop.
We attribute this to the double volume caps that took effect for European securities on March Upon closer inspection, we notice that the implementation of the dark caps triggered a significant drop in dark MTF venue trading in our data set for capped securities. Reference Price Waiver trading has ceased from this point.
Of interest is the lack of change across venue types for the non-capped securities.
Chapter 6: Summary
In particular, activity on periodic auctions continues to be significantly lower for non-capped securities than for capped securities. Based on this, we can say that the main change for non-capped securities was the start of year movement of BCN flow to Lit venues and Bank SIs in approximately equal proportions. DVC-impacted securities require more challenging liquidity sourcing than non-capped ones. Further implications of this shift still need to be fully quantified. Outstanding areas for analysis include impacts on trading costs, best execution, trading efficiency and impact on owners or issuers of DVC-capped stocks.
How is the change manifested within the individual countries? MiFID II brought significant changes to trading venue composition in Europe, and we have yet to fully feel and understand the effects.

This chapter opens with a description of the Manettes' house in the village of Soho. Though now it is in the middle of the city, in the 18th century, it was still a quiet country village on the outskirts of London. Jarvis Lorry is headed out to see the Manettes and enjoying the quiet, peaceful countryside, a respite from dirty London. Since getting rescued five years earlier, Dr.
Manette's life has turned around. He's reestablished his medical practice on the ground floor of his little cottage. He and Lucie live on the second floor, and there is a mysterious man whom no one has ever met who lives on the third floor.
A Tale of Two Cities Book 2, Chapter 4 Summary | theranchhands.com
When Lorry comes into the Manettes' house, they aren't home, but Lorry meets instead a somewhat wild-looking woman named Miss Pross. Miss Pross had been Lucie's nurse and governess when she was a child but now just lives with the Manettes. She loves Lucie, whom she calls 'Ladybird', dearly and is extremely protective of her. She complains to Lorry that ever since he got involved in Lucie's life, 'hundreds of people' have been beating down her door.
It turns out Miss Pross is prone to exaggeration, but there have been several men spending a lot of time at the house, hoping to court Lucie, including Charles Darney, his depressed lookalike Syndey Carton, and his lawyer, Mr. After the Manettes return, they sit down to dinner with Mr. After dinner, Darnay stops by seems Miss Pross was right and asks Dr. Manette if he's heard about the Tower. It seems that while restoring the Tower, ashes, remnants of a letter, were found and seem to have been left by a former prisoner.
Manette seems really upset by the news. As the chapter ends, Carton also drops by, and the rain forces the group to stay at the house for a long time, much to Miss Pross's dismay, I'm sure. Some historical context is important for understanding this chapter. The tower Darnay refers to, though never explicitly named, is the Tower of London.
For much of English history, the Tower of London was a notorious prison, where enemies of the monarchy were kept.
In many ways, it was the British equivalent of the Bastille, the French prison where Dr. Manette was kept for 18 years. However, by the late 18th century, the time period of the book, it wasn't much of a prison anymore and was in the process of being turned into a tourist attraction, hence the reference to restoration. With all this in mind, it should be obvious that the discovery of the letter's ashes, and Manette's reaction to it, are going to be important later on. This chapter is also important for giving us a glimpse of the Manettes' quiet and pleasant home life, far from the horrors of the Tower Dr.
Manette endured, and showing more of the romantic rivalry between Darnay and Carton for the beautiful Lucie's affections.
A Tale or Two, Volume II
He also meets Lucie's devoted former governess, Miss Pross, who complains about all of the suitors coming around for Lucie's attention. Two of those suitors, Charles Darney and Sydney Carton, do come around, and Darnay mentions the remains of an old letter written by a prisoner found in the Tower of London , England's notorious prison.
