High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour to Kick Off Speed Traders Networking in Mumbai

March 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Golden Networking is now launching High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour in Mumbai. India has been considered one of the biggest next frontiers for speed traders across all asset classes. High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour, recently featured in The Wall Street Journal, will bring together high-frequency (and some low-frequency too) traders, quants, managers, investors and key decision makers for evenings of networking and cocktail every first Tuesday at the Starboard Bar, The Taj Mahal Palace.

High-Frequency Trading Happy Hour will be hosted by Edgar Perez, author of “The Speed Traders: An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World”, to be published by McGraw-Hill in May 2011. In “The Speed Traders”, Perez opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading (HFT). Inside, prominent figures of HFT drop their guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade. Perez begins with an overview of computerized trading, which formally began on February 8, 1971, when NASDAQ launched the world’s first electronic market with 2,500 over-the-counter stocks and which has evolved into the present-day practice of making multiple trades in a matter of microseconds. He then picks the brains of today’s top players who break their silence and speak openly to Perez.
