-
Low Latency: How to achieve Ultra-Low Latency for High-Frequency
Trading? As high-frequency trading moves towards multi-asset classes
running multi-legged strategies demanding even faster execution,
ultra-low latency performance becomes the focus. How will
architectures evolve to meet the latency challenge? How helpful
overclocking CPUs and leveraging FPGA coprocessors can result? How
will wireless, cloud and big data technologies play in the speed
race? How technology can enable modern applications to minimize
latency while managing for high throughput?
-
Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight,
how new Regulations will Change the Industry? With high-frequency
trading the subject of great controversy and debate, many regulations
will be bound to change. How will regulations impact the way traders
are capturing alpha? Would there be restrictions that can possibly
harm algorithmic trading? How the economic and political landscape
might impact the pace and severity of these changes?
-
Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic
Markets Worldwide, how Participants will be Able to Find new
Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation? Algorithms are becoming more
prevalent, faster, smarter, more self-adaptive and geographically
distributed and embracing cross asset classes trading and
geographies. How will robotic market impact trading, and
high-frequency trading in particular? What will be the benefits
quants can expect from this evolution? Will there be any
disadvantages? New alpha versus alpha retention?
-
Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China
Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading? With emerging markets on
the rise, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading are shifting
to geographies in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Which
markets hold the most promise? Which asset classes can be traded in
high-frequency in those markets? Are there restrictions to frequency
and speed in place in any of those promising lands? What is the
outlook for high-frequency trading among regulators in those markets?
-
The Future of HFT: How High-frequency Trading will Evolve in
Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments? There has been
a dramatic shift in how instruments are traded in the market. With
high frequency trading able to detect price discrepancies in
microseconds, aided by technology, regulators have grown increasingly
concerned about its impact in market structure and fairness. What is
the outlook for the markets when all participants engage in the arms
race of super smart algorithms? Where will institutional and retail
investors find opportunities? Conversely, could we imagine a world
without high-frequency trading?
