The current spotlight on high-frequency trading is a recognition of the advances in electronic trading strategies and the evolution in equities market structure that have occurred over the last several years due to significant developments in both technology and regulation. Peter Van Kleef, Chief Executive Officer of Lakeview Arbitrage, will review the most commonly used high-frequency algorithm classifications at High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010, “Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies”, during this instructional and insightful 2-day workshop organized by Golden Networking in London, October 4 & 5 2010, New York, October 7 & 8 2010, Dubai, October 25 & 26 2010, and Hong Kong, October 28 & 29 2010.
As reported by AdvancedTrading.com, high-frequency trading in equities is a method to implement a certain type of strategy. It is a means, not an end. Although high-frequency trading strategies are complicated, they typically boil down to leveraging ultra-low latency trading technology to detect execution patterns and momentary intra-day pricing anomalies. High-frequency trading is highly dependent on these strategies actually working. If these opportunities disappeared, so would high-frequency trading. As a means, high-frequency trading harnesses inherent factors in the U.S. and European equities market structure while building on successive market innovations (e.g. high performance connectivity, low latency market data and co-location) in order to flourish.
Research by Celent’s David Easthope and Chermaine Lee shows that latency-sensitive trading is highly pervasive. A higher penetration of high-frequency trading will be multi-faceted and driven by an increase in the number of proprietary trading firms, an expansion of quantitative hedge fund strategies, and increasingly technology-driven automated market making. In addition, the convergence of fundamental and quantitative strategies by investment firms will mean the coupling of execution and investment strategies, leading to greater high-frequency trading adoption among even more traditionally conservative organizations. In other words, a rising high-frequency trading tide will lift all boats in London, New York, Dubai and Hong Kong, with High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010.
