ipushpull

Trader chats are full of alpha. Most of it evaporates. We're at AIMA - The Alternative Investment Management Association this Wednesday, Andrew Capewell and David Jones are presenting on chat data mining at 1.35pm. The talk covers how ipushpull captures unstructured OTC conversations in real time, interprets them, and turns them into structured pre-trade intelligence: who's quoting, who's responding fastest, where the market is right now. We'll be in the exhibition area during the breaks. Come and find us. #AIMAEvents #OTCTrading #HedgeFunds

We're at the AI in Capital Markets Summit today, hosted by A-Team Insight, from A-Team Group, come and say hi if you are here. #AICMSummit #AICapitalMarketsLondon

ipushpull is a gold sponsor at the AI in Capital Markets Summit in London next week on 17 June. Matthew Cheung is on the panel 'How to achieve AI data readiness', alongside speakers from HSBC, Opensee and QuestDB. The session covers what firms need to get right before AI is deployable: trusted data models and the governance infrastructure underneath them. We'll also be in the exhibition area. Come and find us.

Firms preparing for the EU AI Act as if it were GDPR are preparing for the wrong thing. Most financial services firms are deployers under the Act, not providers. Those are different sets of obligations. Understanding which side of that line you sit on determines how you approach compliance. The enforcement deadline is December 2026. Matthew Cheung spoke with Rosie Nance, Senior Knowledge Lawyer at Norton Rose Fulbright, about what the Act actually requires, whom it catches and what agentic AI means for firms now.

OTC trading runs on chat. The data stays there until someone manually moves it. Traders spend 10-20% of their day re-keying trades already agreed in chat. Someone chases every confirmation. Compliance asks for records that were never captured. Most desks have accepted this as the cost of doing business. ipushpull captures what's agreed in chat, interprets it and auto-populates a trade ticket. A trader reviews, confirms and books. 85% reduction in trade-entry time at Koch Energy Services, LLC. 90%+ field-level accuracy in production. The infrastructure behind those numbers took a decade to build: platform connections, normalisation rules, compliance hooks and booking system mappings. We've done the plumbing.

Excited to be sponsoring #AICapitalMarketsLondon, an important event. We look forward to many great conversations. We hope to see you there!

New podcast: Governed Data as the Competitive Moat in the Agent Era. Matthew Cheung speaks with Rosie Nance, Senior Knowledge Lawyer at Norton Rose Fulbright, on the EU AI Act, agentic AI in financial markets, and what firms should be doing before August 2026. A few points from the conversation. 🔸The EU AI Act is product safety law, made under the same framework that governs lift cables and medical devices. It requires conformity assessments and CE marks before a system reaches the market. Firms that read it as another GDPR start in the wrong place. 🔸Agentic AI does not get its own framework. The existing principle-based regimes from the FCA, ICO, and others are expected to flex to cover it. 🔸Even with technology that can act autonomously, the firm using it is always responsible for what it does. That responsibility does not transfer to the model vendor or the systems integrator. Link to the full episode in the comments.

If you're in Houston on 4 June, come join us for Pushpull Pints. It's our informal drinks series, no slides, no agenda, just good conversations with people across financial and commodity markets. We'll be there from 4:30. Details in the event. Would love to see you there!

Dealer quotes arrive across multiple chat platforms simultaneously. Most desks check them one channel at a time. By the time all the channels are reviewed, some prices are already stale. The best bid will have gone. The data from those conversations disappears the moment the window closes. Who quoted what. At what spread. How fast they responded. Most desks never capture it. The data just goes. Quote Hub from ipushpull was built for exactly this. Find out more, link in comments. #fixedincome #otctrading #tradingdesk #pricediscovery
