The Knowledge Congress Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on HFT Litigation in 2015: Explored

NEW YORK - March 2, 2015 - PRLog -- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled High-Frequency Trading Litigation in 2015: Explored. This two-hour event is scheduled on March 26, 2015 at 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:

Over the past few years, regulators have focused on High Frequency Trading by financial firms. This trading increased following release of a purported exposé of trading firm’s use of high-speed algorithms and information gathering. Some HFT strategies, such as passive market making, may increase overall liquidity in the market. The Joint CFTC-SEC Advisory Committee expressed concern over the volume of orders and cancellations of trades (spoofing). Charges of alleged fraud and securities violations were filed against numerous financial services and national securities exchanges. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that they were actively investigating HFT practices. HFT will continue to create challenging analytical and legal issues considering the complexity and multi-party nature of trading, rapidly changing regulations, un-tested legal theories, and litigation.

In a two hour live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the latest, significant issues surrounding High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Litigations.

Key issues include that will be covered in this course are:

§  High-Frequency Trading

§  Order Flow Payments

§  Demonstrating Liability

§  Calculating Damages

§  Federal and State Regulation

§  Regulation NMS in Trading
