Emergence of Asia as Next High-Frequency Trading Hub at High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010

June 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Panelists and speakers at GoldenNetworking.net's High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2010, "Innovating and Profiting from High-Frequency Trading in 2010 and Beyond", now available on a 6-disc DVD set at http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com, agreed on pointing out the emergence of Asia as the next high-frequency trading hotspot, as more regional exchanges are investing in providing the speedy access that some high-frequency trading strategies rely on to generate consistent profits.

FierceFinanceIT reported: "The Singapore Exchange, operator of the city's derivatives and stock exchange, has announced its so-called Reach initiative, which will launch what the firm bills as the world's fastest trading system by the first quarter of next year. The $250 million investment in the new system will allow the exchange to execute trades in 90 microseconds compared with 3 to 5 milliseconds now. High-frequency trading already accounts for 30 percent of volume on the exchange, but it hopes that will go even higher.  In addition, Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing  said last month that it, too, will upgrade its trading system next year to boost speed, aiming for order flow from the mainland. It's goal: a trading system by the end of 2011 that can process 15,000 transactions per second, up from 3,000 transactions per second, according to Bloomberg. ASX, of Australia, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange also have upgrade plans. So we have a full-on arms race underway, which will draw attention from U.S. firms."
