Jamie Selway, ITG's head of market structure, tweeted his departure from the firm last week. In the tweet he said, “...I moved on from ITG. I leave with my heart full and head held high. I am particularly grateful for my partners, who globalized POSIT Alert, revitalized our algorithms, created a multi-asset strategy, and helped the company through challenging times. To clients, industry colleagues, and friends, I wish you well — and will see you soon." Selway’s pedigree as an expert on equity market structure, is well known throughout Wall Street. Selway co-founded broker White Cap Trading in 2003 and was on the board of directors at exchange operator Bats Global Markets from 2008 to 2015. He has also been a contributor for Traders Magazine.
