New
York City, NY, USA (March 13, 2013) -- "What the Foresight
Report Tell us About the Future of Computer Trading in Financial
Markets" is the topic of closing keynote speaker professor Dave
Cliff, Department of Computer Science, University of Bristol and
Foresight Project Member of the Lead Expert Group on Algorithmic
Trading, at the most influential high-frequency trading conference in
the world, Golden Networking's High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum
2013 London, "Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors,
Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges", March 21
(http://www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).
Advances
in technology continue to transform how our financial markets
operate. The volume of financial products traded through computer
automated trading taking place at high speed and with little human
involvement has increased dramatically in the past few years. For
example, today, over one third of United Kingdom equity trading
volume is generated through high frequency automated computer trading
while in the US this figure is closer to three-quarters.
The
new two-year Foresight study The Future of Computer Trading in
Financial Markets - An International Perspective, sheds new light on
technological advances which have transformed market structures in
recent years. The independent and international study has involved
150 leading experts from more 20 countries to provide the best
possible analysis on computer trading to date. The aim of this
project is to make a significant contribution to the challenges
computer-based trading brings in the coming years and capitalize on
the opportunities it has to offer.
It
assembles and analyses evidence on the effect of HFT on financial
markets looking out to 2022. A High Level Stakeholder Group,
comprised of senior individuals from relevant institutions, provided
strategic oversight for the project and advised on the key issues to
be addressed.
Sponsored
by Her Majesty's Treasury, the project was led by the Government
Office for Science under the direction of the Government's Chief
Scientific Adviser, Professor Sir John Beddington. It has involved
leading experts, among them, Professor Cliff, member of the computer
science team at the University of Bristol and Director of the UK
Large Scale Complex IT Systems Initiative. Professor Cliff is the
inventor of the seminal "ZIP" trading algorithm, one of the
first of the current generation of autonomous adaptive algorithmic
trading systems, which was demonstrated to outperform human traders
in research published in 2001 by IBM.
Prior
to joining the University of Bristol in 2007, Professor Cliff held
faculty posts at the University of Sussex School of Cognitive and
Computing Sciences, at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory,
and at the University of Southampton School of Electronics and
Computer Science. He'd also spent roughly half his career working as
a researcher in industry: initially for Hewlett-Packard Labs, where
he ended up as a Department Scientist; and latterly for Deutsche Bank
London, where he was a Director/Trader in their Foreign Exchange
Complex Risk Group.
Since
October 2005, Professor Cliff has been Director of the UK Research
and Training Initiative in the Science and Engineering of Large-Scale
Complex IT Systems (LSCITS). This is funded by almost £10m of UK
public funds (from EPSRC), with significant support from partners in
industry and the UK public sector.
Most
of his personal research work in the ten years before he got involved
in LSCITS was centered on adaptive automated trading systems for
various types of markets, and on automated design of market
mechanisms. He started doing this in 1995, for market-based control
of ultra-large-scale data-centres. In 2001 a team at IBM showed his
"ZIP" trading software beating human traders, which got the
attention of various companies in the global financial markets.
