COLUMBUS EF
This session will bring together a variety of software vendors in the algorithmic space which provide both "off the shelf" and bespoke solutions for clients ranging from individual traders to large investment firms. The session will examine their strategies for success in this marketplace, given that many of the algorithmic trading tools we see in the derivatives markets have been written "in house". We will examine the unique selling points of each of the vendors, their target clients, their strategies toward co-location, and their opinions of the requirements from the major exchanges and brokerage firms for continuous upgrades - many of which are now driven by the demands of algorithmic/program trading. We will also discuss what sort of effort is required to get started in algorithmic trading.
