According to Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, Saxo Bank is set to pay around a million dollars (NOT CONFIRMED) for the independent investigation ordered by the Danish FSA of whether trades executed manually and performed on the Bank’s electronic trading system are generally being executed in accordance with the Bank’s common trading conditions and Best Execution Policy.
