High-Frequency, Algorithmic & Automated Trading - Automated Trader Updates 6th October 2011

Automated Trader Updates 6th October 2011


LinkedIn Twitter
One of the key insights to emerge from the 2011 Automated Trader Algorithmic Trading Survey is not that firms are automating more and more of the trade lifecycle, but the speed and extent to which this is happening, the asset classes it involves and the technology that's being used to make it possible. Market participants should be in no doubt that the pace of change we've witnessed over recent years will only accelerate.
We'll be presenting the full results of the survey and debating the key points with our panel of experts at the London Stock Exchange on Monday 10th October, and the good news is...there's still just time to register. Given initial demand for places, the London Stock Exchange have kindly provided additional space and extended the registration deadline. The closing date for applications for places is tomorrow Friday 7th October. So, if you've not yet registered, don't miss out. Register now.
If you're based in Sydney, Singapore or Hong Kong you'll be pleased to know that we'll be running similar events in each city starting with Sydney on Tuesday 18th October, Singapore on Thursday 20th October, and Hong Kong on Tuesday 25th October. Again, places are limited and demand is expected to be strong, so get your application for places in quickly.

Algorithmic & High Frequency Trading - 2 day seminar

October 26th & 27th
Mexico City
RiskMathics is pleased to present the "Algorithmic and High Frequency Trading" seminar, which will be participated in by leading market practitioners and members of academia.
Currently the use of Automated/Black-Box trading in combination with High Frequency Trading is the most important trend in the financial industry world-wide. Direct access to the markets and the ability to send burst orders in milliseconds has been a fundamental factor in the exponential growth in the number of transactions that we have seen in recent years. This has led all those involved in the industry to rethink the role they will play in meeting the future needs of the buy side and the sell side.
Objective
One of the primary objectives of this seminar is to provide through leading authorities in the global financial sector the essential components of Algorithmic Trading, High Frequency Trading, Electronic Trading, and Order Routing as well as to show participants the performance and critical success factors involved.
The seminar will explore the current Trading landscape, where the industry is heading, and how intermediaries can remain competitive. It will present the technological components of Electronic Algorithms and Routing Orders; the benefits, impact and implementation of these components.
The program also explores Back Testing and Risk Management controls and will also cover the technological infrastructure necessary to implement an electronic trading operation, and the minimum requirements necessary to support the operation of customers using Algorithmic Trading. The seminar will also address in detail the roles of API, FIX, STP, DMA, OMS and EMS in Algorithmic Trading and Order Routing.
Who should attend?
All those directly or indirectly involved in areas of Operation, Regulation, Technology, Research, Development of Stock Exchanges, Brokers, Brokerage Houses, Banks, Institutional Investors (Pension Funds, Mutual Funds, Insurance, etc.), Hedge Funds and Independent Investors.
