Colocation, Hardware Acceleration, FPGA, and more High-Frequency Trading Platform Development on DVD

July 24, 2011 - PRLog -- High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop, "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies", the insightful high-frequency trading 2-day workshop organized by Golden Networking, is now available on DVD, at http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com, featuring a session on High-Frequency Trading Platform Development.

As reported by Progress.com, a recent poll by Greenwich Associates found that 20 percent of institutional investors don't fully understand the practice of high frequency trading. Algorithmic trading is a broader term that encompasses the automation of alpha-seeking and execution trading decision making. High frequency trading specifically monitors the market for patterns that indicate alpha-making trading opportunities; then places orders to take instant advantage of those opportunities. As market data is coming in fast, and conditions are changing by the millisecond, the firms that leverage high frequency trading are able to jump on opportunities faster than the competition that isn't using high frequency trading.

High frequency trading has brought down the average trade size, and the sheer number of trades has gone up. In fact, stock exchanges report that just a handful of high-frequency traders now account for a more than 60% of all trades. High frequency trading has therefore stirred up some controversy, from opponents who believe it gives traders an unfair advantage. Others think that high frequency trading indeed creates valuable liquidity, quickly matches buyers and sellers, and keeps prices in check, benefits all market participants enjoy.
