May 6, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, NY -- "A chorus of critics have recently begun asserting that so-called 'high frequency' traders, which now make up approximately 60 percent of trading volumes in the United States equities markets and provide critical liquidity to all investors, are harming the market with unfair, speculative trading that causes stock prices to needlessly fluctuate to the detriment of investors.' That's how Quantlab Financial's Cameron Smith introduces his evaluation of the impact of High-Frequency Trading on investors, published in Traders Magazine last month, and initially reviewed at www.pr-inside.com/how-high-speed-trading-impacts-investors-at-r1866199.htm. Now that High-Frequency Trading is attracting increased interest, GoldenNetworking.net is hosting High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010, "Innovating and Profiting from High-Frequency Trading in 2010 and Beyond" (www.HFTLeadersForum.com), May 27th, 2010, at New York City's Flatotel Hotel.

Mr. Smith concludes: "As the past regulatory actions against the traditional Wall Street traders and the rapid emergence of electronic markets demonstrate, investors prefer a transparent and fair trading environment to one that favors a select group over other market participants. Accordingly, any debate about electronic markets and the role of high frequency traders must be viewed in light of the un-controvertible fact that our nation's equity markets are more efficient, far fairer, more liquid and have lower transaction costs for investors than ever before. And it must be further recognized that high frequency traders, as the heir to the roles played by the traditional market makers and specialists, are responsible for a significant portion of this improvement along with the Securities and Exchange Commission which worked to create and nurture the fair, transparent and efficient environment we enjoy today."

High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010, "Innovating and Profiting from High-Frequency Trading in 2010 and Beyond" will bring Chicago-based Dr. Andrew Kumiega, Director of Infinium Capital Management, and Professor Ben Van Vliet, Illinois Institute of Technology, as Keynote Speakers; Dr. Kumiega will present the ins and outs of backtesting while professor Van Vliet will present a new methodology for developing high-frequency trading systems, as described at www.pr-inside.com/how-high-speed-trading-impacts-investors-at-r1866199.htm.
