Successfully Navigating Regulation at High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2011

Jan. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- (January 21, 2011, New York) As reported by Reuters, the U.S. securities regulators took their first stab at deciding whether rules are needed to curb high-frequency traders, whose lightning-fast computer programs now dominate equities markets.

In a move that could overhaul how markets function, Reuters had reported, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted to seek public comment on the rapid trades, the anonymous trading venues known as dark pools, and other market developments that have blossomed over the last decade. The SEC will publish a so-called concept release asking whether the current structure of markets is fair to investors and whether they have the tools to protect their interests. The 60-page document asks whether high-frequency traders -- the proprietary firms, banks and hedge funds that use sophisticated algorithms to make markets and profit from tiny imbalances -- present systemic risk. The regulator also questions whether the ultra-fast trading strategies need new rules and whether co-location -- when trading firms rent space near an exchange's trading system -- give those trading firms an unfair advantage.

The SEC's examination into the country's market structure comes as the White House and U.S. Congress try to revamp the way the financial system is supervised. Golden Networking’s High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2011 will provide a thorough understanding and practical knowledge of high-frequency trading for executives and professionals working in finance and investments, from Financial Institutions, Investment Banks, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, Broker Dealers, Consultancy Groups, Prime Brokers, Solution Providers, Exchanges, ATSs, ECNs and MTFs.
