New
York City, NY, USA (July 23, 2013) -- According to
SearchCompliance, the speed and complexity of software designed for
high-frequency stock trading propelled Knight Capital Group's success
in recent years, but those same properties drove the firm to the
brink of bankruptcy. When New York Stock Exchange trading opened the
morning of Aug. 1, 2012, a technology breakdown in Knight Capital's
newly installed trading software caused a deluge of erroneous stock
orders that severely disrupted the market. The new software had been
deployed the day before, the company said, and it took about half an
hour to halt the erroneous orders once the problem was discovered.
After
Knight Capital Group lost $440 million in about 45 minutes of trading
that day, regulators redoubled efforts to limit stock exchange
damages inflicted by faulty technology. Specifically, they launched a
review of the testing and control requirements needed to prevent
highly complicated and interconnected IT systems from causing market
upheaval when errors occur.
Lessons
to be after the Knight Capital incident are at the heart of the
keynote speech Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the
forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, will give to attendees at High
Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City
