Trade and transaction reporting in a Nutshell™

Trade reporting an obligation imposed by MiFID under Art. 28, is what the broker/dealer reports to the exchange immediately upon execution of the trade, to provide transparency and market information of where the stock is trading.
Transaction reporting is an obligation imposed on investment firms by Art. 25 of MiFID, and is much more detailed account of all transactions undertaken by that firm over the course of a day to the regulator, capturing who is buying and selling what.
