What Traders and Quants in Hong Kong and New York Were Waiting For

"Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies" at Golden Networking's High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010, Hong Kong, November 22 & 23 and New York, December 9 & 10, led by Peter van Kleef, CEO, Lakeview Arbitrage
 
Nov. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- If there was something quants, traders and everybody interested in high-frequency trading were waiting for after the 20-minute "flash crash" that suddenly put the spotlight on the practice last May, it would definitely be Golden Networking's upcoming High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 (http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com), "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies", instructional and insightful 2-day workshop to be held in Hong Kong, November 22 & 23 and New York, December 9 & 10. This unique workshop will provide a practical view of cutting-edge developments in the high-frequency and algorithmic trading worlds.

As reported by Reuters' Jonathan Spicer, "for years, America's stock markets were the envy of the world, the model for modern trading -- fast, stable, efficient and for the most part transparent. But after the Dow Jones industrial average plunged nearly 700 points on May 6 before sharply rebounding, that perception changed, possibly for good. The close examination of market structure in the wake of that stomach-churning freefall surprised even the most grizzled investors. They learned that a lone trader using computerized trading codes can submit tens of thousands of orders in a single second. As a result, many of the technological advances that are the hallmarks of modern stock markets are now viewed with at least a little suspicion."

"In a nutshell, the crash put the world's most sophisticated trading firms, hedge funds and brokers on the defensive, and it strengthened the hands of some traditional investors and even politicians who had agitated for better safeguards in the complicated marketplace. The fallout has just begun. Regulators, playing a bigger role, will at the very least shine a brighter spotlight on today's high-speed marketplace. At the most, they could try to put the brakes on trading advances that are now commonplace."

High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 will provide a practical approach to the conceptualization and development of a high-frequency trading platform to executives and professionals working in finance and investments, from Financial Institutions, Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, Broker Dealers, Consultancy Groups, Prime Brokers, Solution Providers and Exchanges, who wish to gain a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of high-frequency trading. By the end of this 2-day workshop, delegates attending High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 will understand the requirements to develop sophisticated trading platforms, have a hands-on understanding of high-frequency trading in practice, learn how to exploit market microstructure with high-frequency trading and leverage alternative and new high-frequency strategies, including arbitrage, news and social networking based.
