These weighted votes were used to create scores for each firm, which determined the rankings. An overall leaders table is included tallying the total number of top 5 positions received across all categories in each region for each firm.

Participants were also asked to name up to four trading service providers on Unique Market Color (company coverage offered on market news, flow insights, and market structure).
