Bloomberg High Frequency Trading

High-frequency trading has been in the sights of U.S. and European regulators since the start of the financial crisis. Much ink has been spent discussing its impact on markets, particularly in connection with the flash crash in May 2010 and more recent spikes in volatility. This panel of experts on HFT, market structure and ETFs will examine shifting attitudes toward computerized trading across regulatory agencies and geographic regions along with potential rules to limit HFT. The backdrop is a changing marketplace that increasingly relies on low-latency data and an HFT business that's become more competitive. Firms have been prompted to expand their strategies to more asset classes and regions less saturated by low-latency electronic trading.
