Back-handers – some hand shakes done in back rooms. Not best for market, for investors – it's amazing this is allowed to happen

Binck will execute all orders voor SNS Bank!

All retail flow of SNS will go to Optiver! I cannot understand that SNS allows that their customers orders will be executed according to "best execution" instead of "best price"!

BinckBank should start their own TV channel for investors (based on Wayne's World theme) – "Binckbank, party time, excelleeent! Yeh!"

This is why I'm leaving Binck for IB, instead of innovating their trading platform, they invest in best prices for retail customers who don't even benefit from € 0,002 price changes

you're right… lets get rid of Turquoise, BATS and Chi-X so Euronext can higher it's fees again.
And Binck will not receive any money from Optiver because TOM is a separate entity.

How many options exchanges do u want??

There's no way that the retail public will benefit from TOM. The only motivation of Optiver is bringing down Euronext fees and Binck receives in return money from Optiver.

Like to see the faces of AFM / DNB if they have to control & regulate for example 8 option exchanges!

Correct. The move really benefits Optiver.

I just think that Optiver's move is very clever. I think "regular" market-making is very difficult now, and every proper trading house should do the same. Without external flow, either your PL is caped, if you are good, or you simply don't make money. And don't forget that "human" market making is also reaching its end. All in all, TOM is just the start of a new Optiver, a fully automated market making house, just like Timber Hill
