"How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battle Markets
'RIGGED' by Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', High-frequency Trading,
Exchanges and Dark Pools"
(http://www.thespeedtradersworkshop.com),
is the first and most comprehensive initiation to the world of
high-frequency trading., opens the door to the secretive world of
computerized low-latency trading, the most controversial form of
investing today; in the name of protecting the algorithms they have
spent so much time perfecting, speed traders almost never talk to the
press and try to disclose as little as possible about how they
operate.

Speed Traders Workshop, to be led by Edgar Perez in New York City,

Beijing and Shanghai, covers the latest research currently available
and reveals how high-frequency trading players are operating in

breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan, India, and
Brazil. The "flash crash", the suspended BATS IPO, the
botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital's trading malfunction and
NASDAQ's Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the history
of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants.
