A History of AlgoTrading

WRG’s 4th Annual AlgoTrading Event: Trading Algos & Beyond
Our 2007 event was a great success with close to 300 people in attendance.  A key highlight of the program was our “Before the Bell” buy-side only panel sessions as well as outstanding keynotes of Peter Borish giving his view on the economy and his trading experiences and Neil Chriss, one of the “Quant Gods”, who shared some of his analysis with the audience.
This year, we bring together a significantly larger buy-side faculty – many who have not appeared at any trading event before.  We also bring you three keynotes – from the Media, Economics and the Trading Desk and all touching on what today’s economy means for the desk.
Topics also being covered in 2008 include:

  • Gaining Alpha in a Fragmented Market
  • Sourcing the Dark Pools and Attaining Best Execution
  • How a Trader Can Leverage Market Risk for Competitive Advantage
  • Attaining Liquidity and Maximizing Your Trading Technique
  • Improving the Two-Way Street Between the PM and the Trader

Come with your team members! Take advantage of the interactive roundtables, networking and one-on-one sessions to gain real take-aways on what you can do improve your desk.
Plus!

Don’t miss the Day One Forums & workshops added this year by request from the market.  Kicking off with our trademarked buy-side only session of interactive discussions for the trader by the trader, it is immediately followed by interactive solution workshops as well as a Trader’s Guide to the Market given by industry experts who detail market structure, tactical TCA, algorithms and the latest in technology.
