The process of building a high-performance trading system includes not only the development, research, testing, implementation, and management of the investment systems, but also the delineation of responsibilities, all deliberately aimed at achieving performance levels consistent with or above the specifications of seed capital providers and investors. At GoldenNetworking.net's High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010 DVD Video Package, Professor Ban Vliet walks through a proven methodology that incorporates continuous improvement to the systems of trade selection, execution, risk management, and all other trading/investment system processes, through the performance of statistical process control on risk attributes. Topics covered include algorithmic trading for exploitation of market micro structure, trade-offs between third-party and custom built trading systems and required backtesting for high-frequency trading algorithms.
