Oct. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Golden Networking is inviting this Tuesday October 25th , the most lively audience of high-frequency and quantitative trading professionals to mingle at High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour, http://hfthappyhourchicago.eventbrite.com.  High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour, featured in The Wall Street Journal, has congregated high-frequency (and some low-frequency too) traders, quants, managers, investors and key decision makers for evenings of networking and cocktails.

Earlier this month, Golden Networking successfully held its High Frequency Leaders Forum in Chicago, featuring CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton as the keynote speaker. You can read Mr. Chilton’s speech, entitled Moneyball here.  Now, Golden Networking returns to Chicago for its monthly High Frequency Trading Happy Hour event.
High frequency trading is currently a highly contentious issue, with regulators seeking to clamp down on the industry.

As reported by The New York Times’ Graham Bowley, regulators in the United States and overseas are cracking down on computerized high-speed trading that crowds today’s stock exchanges, worried that as it spreads around the globe it is making market swings worse.

The cost of these high-frequency traders, critics say, is the confidence of ordinary investors in the markets, and ultimately their belief in the fairness of the financial system.

“There is something unholy about them,” said Guy P. Wyser-Pratte, a prominent longtime Wall Street trader and investor. “That is what caused this tremendous volatility. They make a fortune whereas the public gets so whipsawed by this trading.”

Regulators are playing catch-up. In the United States and Europe, they have recently fined traders for using computers to gain advantage over slower investors by illegally manipulating prices, and they suspect other market abuse could be going on.

Regulators are also weighing new rules for high-speed trading, with an international regulatory body to make recommendations in coming weeks.

In addition, officials in Europe, Canada and the United States are considering imposing fees aimed at limiting trading volume or paying for the cost of greater oversight.
