ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Global scrutiny of high-frequency trading and whether
it gives some investors unfair advantage has intensified
amid government probes and the March 31, 2014
publication of "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis. While
those examinations have focused mostly on U.S. equity
markets, such as dark pools run by banks and broker-
dealers and exchanges owned by companies including
Nasdaq OMX, IntercontinentalExchange Group's NYSE
Euronext and Bats Global Markets, high-frequency
traders are active internationally in futures, FX and fixed
income markets, as they also run multi-asset strategies.

High-frequency traders have been called many things,
from emerging masters of the universe and market
pioneers to exploiters, computer geeks, and even
predators and thieves. Everyone in the business of
investing has an opinion of speed traders, but how
many really understand how they operate? The shadow
people of the investing world, today's high-frequency
traders have decidedly kept a low profile, until now.

The Speed Traders Workshop, 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.

The Speed Traders Workshop covers the latest research
currently available and reveals how high-frequency
trading players are operating in global markets and
driving the development of electronic trading at
breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to Japan,
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 at with participants.
