Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City to Discuss HFT not Driving Investors from the Stock Market

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — For a long time, only a tiny group of folks like me cared about the structures through which investors’ orders to buy and sell stocks and other financial instruments were actually traded. Lately, that has changed, as it will be noted at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

According to a Financial Times op-ed, a few years ago, during the peak of the financial crisis, the rest of the world started waking up to what my fellow geeks and I had long known: US equity market structure had undergone a vast, long-term transformation – from a simple, mostly manual system to an extraordinarily complex, highly automated one – and that this metamorphosis was spreading to other markets globally.

Once relegated to obscure trade journals and dry industry conferences, market structure is now front-page news. And that coverage tends to focus on episodes in which technology fails: the 2010 “flash crash” in US markets and, in 2012, the aborted initial public offering of exchange company BATS Global Markets, systems troubles that affected the Facebook IPO and a software glitch at Knight Capital Group.

News stories, blogs and social media posts refer ominously to such incidents and, generally, to high-frequency trading, as seriously damaging investor confidence. The average reader could be forgiven for thinking that worries over HFT and modern market structure are driving mom-and-pop investors from the stock market in droves, like so many terrified villagers in a Godzilla film.

Justin Schack, managing director and partner at Rosenblatt Securities in New York, agrees that today’s structure may not be pretty, and elements of it surely need fixing, but it wound up delivering better outcomes for end investors than what it replaced. Transaction cost data from multiple vendors show that institutional investors can implement ideas far more cheaply today than before the transformation. This includes not just exchange fees and broker commissions, but also the price impact of large trades hitting the market. New, fundamental changes to market-structure regulation could trigger another transformative cycle, with no guarantee that investor outcomes would improve in the end.

Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will examine the speed trading industry from various angles, in an opened and unbiased environment highly conducive to networking. Topics to be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will include:

– Low Latency: How can Ultra-Low Latency be Achieved for High-Frequency Trading?
– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading?
– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, How Will Participants be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation?
– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how will New Regulations Change the Industry?
– The Future of HFT: How will High-frequency Trading Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments?

Tech2Trade Expo 2013, to be held in New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt, is the world’s most influential alternative investments forum for the hedge fund, high-frequency trading and derivatives communities. With dozens of practitioners, experts and regulators speaking in our programs, Tech2Trade Expo 2013 provides hundreds of investors, traders and portfolio managers with the key lessons, proven recipes and penetrating insights they are looking for to capture alpha in up and down markets.

What the Chinese Dream Means for Long-Term Investors at Golden Networking’s China Leaders Forum 2013

Building off of the momentum of past conferences, Golden Networking brings back China Leaders Forum 2013 (www.ChinaLeadersForum.com), “Will the Chinese Dream Become Long-term Investors’ Dream or Nightmare”, New York, October 1st.

New York City, NY, USA (May 28, 2013) — The Chinese government is committed to rebalancing the country’s economy because their capital-intensive, export-oriented approach is delivering diminishing returns and threatens to become a major political vulnerability for the government.
