Interesting article. I’m not a fan of it
Not a fan of detecting it or pre-hedging?
How does this occur in practice?
Pre-hedging, without full disclosure to the client in advance it can look like front running imho. Its when the client shows the sell-side a firm interest (side) of a trade, say a buy interest and the sell-side immediately starts buying ahead of quoting the tradeable price, affecting the market-in this case higher. Still prevalent by the looks of this article. Interesting that the buy-side (the client) are getting wary of it. They see the market move against them before they have dealt.
