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 22, 2013) — According to Robert Anglos, HFT is still around, but is being done by fewer people. “There is, no doubt, numerous reasons but my take, as a HF trader, is that a lot of people that got in was when the markets were tanking and it was being touted as a ‘get rich quick’ approach to making money. When the reality set in most went away, just like small investors that lost a lot of money either did not come back or not as strong.”

Anglos is an HFT and admits there is some misconception of what most HFT do and where. “Generally we, and almost never for me, are we trading stock. We do not, and are not capable of moving the markets. We do have the ability to exploit and perhaps extend a movement when the markets are highly sensitive (probably the basis for the argument that HF traders help them get where they are going quicker).”

Trading is not investing, he said. “In many respects investing, in my view, is the equivalent of hope or taking advantage of a situation. In the old days you could buy AT&T, or its equivalent, and believe that it was going to appreciate until the end of time (and pay dividends). Keep this in mind only 1 in 100 people that try day trading make a living at it. Some make excellent money, but I wonder how many investment professionals that are at the same in their profession make at least as much. I have no statistics but I believe any of the senior execs at Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan are making far more.”

So apparently, HFT is still alive; perhaps the reports of its death are a bit premature. Perhaps not? Leaders will be discussing these issues 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).
