June 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, is coming to Shanghai, China’s financial district, to conduct the most thorough review of high-frequency trading at his upcoming The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 Shanghai: How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX, (http://www.TheSpeedTradersWorkshop.com), June 6, taking place at the Hult International Business School’s Shanghai campus.

The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading, the most controversial form of investing today; in the name of protecting the algorithms they have spent so much time perfecting, speed traders almost never talk to the press and disclose as little as possible about how they operate.  

This workshop, led by Mr. Perez, author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, reveals how high-frequency trading players are succeeding in the global markets and driving the development of algorithmic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to India, Singapore and Brazil.
