A-Team Group's Low-Latency Summit to Focus on Converging Technologies for Automated Trading

April 25, 2013 - PRLog -- A-Team Group announces that the forthcoming Low-Latency Summit in New York City on May 1st 2013 will be focusing on how key low latency, cloud and big data technologies are converging to form the IT platform that will underpin automated trading in the financial markets, as they move beyond HFT.  Major sponsors will add to A-Team's own thought leadership at the event, including Tibco Software, Dell, Intel and Altera.

The Low-Latency Summit (http://low-latency.com/event/low-latency-summit-2013-nyc-spring) is an annual event that takes place in both London and New York. The summit's objective is to explore new technologies that - combined - are being adopted by the world's biggest financial trading participants as they search for Alpha in increasingly complex and diversified markets. As such, the theme of each Summit is refreshed to meet topics of the moment.  The May 1st Summit has a theme of "Technology Convergence for Intelligent Trading".

Convergence of what? "We believe that Low-Latency, Cloud and Big Data technologies are increasingly working together to underpin automated trading, and to enable Intelligent Trading," said Pete Harris, Editor at Low-Latency.com and a noted expert on technology innovation in the financial markets.

Harris explains further: "What is Intelligent Trading? Trading strategies that do not rely solely on speed or frequency of executions to return a profit. It will be important to make the right trades, in the right markets, in a cost-effective manner, in order to separate the winners from the also rans. Converging Low-Latency, Cloud and Big Data technologies will enable the infrastructure platform for these strategies."
