Event Background | High Frequency Trading is the latest and currently widely discussed phenomenon within electronic trading that has changed the electronic markets landscape in a radical way and affected all stakeholders within its trading cycle by bringing liquidity, tightening the spreads, and generating record profits. Despite being under the scrutiny of regulators, it is gaining immense popularity and growth among traders. This strategy is considered to be highly sophisticated and the biggest obstacle stays in its complexity, technological requirements, cost, and other key factors that HIFREQ TRADE event is aiming to explore in order to provide a better understanding of various components within its structure. | Event Overview & Format | HIFREQ TRADE event will be hosting leading experts involved in high frequency trading from recognized buy and sell side institutions, technology providers, venue representatives, regulators, independent consultants and academia that will discuss, network, and explore business relationship opportunities for profitable partnerships in a open and unbiased environment.
This event is further aiming to address current challenges such as the debate regarding the different access methods to venues, regulatory affairs and its outlook, technology infrastructure best practices, latency, colocation, proximity, synchronization of fragmented market data, modeling cross asset positions and its risk management, post trade processing compliance, dynamic portfolio models, real time data & risk management, and other factors that may affect your performance. For these reasons, HIFREQ TRADEis a must attend event for involved parties to keep track with lighting fast developments and changing environment within these technologies. Finally, growing popularity, market share and reported profits it made during the last year in the peak of the financial crisis sparked an unparalleled interest among alternative asset managers, prop trading firms, investment banks, and media in this growing strategy. | | | | | Event Chair's Foreword:  Bob Giffords, Banking and Technology Analyst: High frequency trading has taken the market by storm generating up to 40% of orders now on many platforms. It's driving the move to co-located trading engines to achieve sub-millisecond market access and open up an exciting range of opportunities for
low-latency e-services. It's also putting quants and tech teams under intense pressure to come up with new distributed trading architectures and back-testing strategies to calibrate ever adapting models to ever finer resolutions. Are these speed daemons
putting traditional traders at risk or really integrating MiFID's fragmented world of multi-asset trading into an efficient single market as never before? InVantage's HIFREQ TRADE will try to reveal all." | | | HIFREQ TRADE event in the media: Click here to read an article in Automated Trader | | Key Topics Discussed | Actual Delegates Breakdown | * Current overview & developments in HFT
