New
York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) -- In the 17th century, it is
said that the Rothschilds were able to balance stock markets in their
favor by flying carrier pigeons to relay information before their
peers. Today's equivalent is high-frequency trading, the main topic
of discussion 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 Public Service Europe, HFT creates extreme market volatility and
has even resulted in a 'flash crash'. On May 6, 2010, US index the
Dow Jones plunged 1,000 points - or 9 per cent of its total - only to
recover those losses within minutes. This shock was a direct result
of HFT. And the sequence of events was triggered by a single sale of
$4.1bn in futures contracts by a mutual, in an aggressive attempt to
hedge its investment position. This was quickly magnified by HFTs,
creating a snowball effect.
Not
only that, the limited uses for such a trading device are simply to
pump up pension funds or to create greater wealth for the super-rich.
All this without truly investing in a productive asset - a company
that might make a difference to wider society. Any integrity markets
might have once had now lies in tatters.
At
this precise moment, the world of HFT is analogous to a frontier
town. Only this time, it is not humans displaying wild west-style
behavior but the machines we have created. The flash crash of 2010
was a wake-up call. However, it seems the regulators are still asleep
and we all know where that leads - circa the 2008 global economic
crisis we are still coming to terms with today. Perhaps, carrier
pigeons were not such a bad idea after all.
