New York, NY, USA (February 4, 2015) -High-frequency trading provides market
liquidity, and that's good for individual
investors. Some say it's unfair because a
few very smart people are making money
doing it. Rick Ferri, founder of Portfolio
Solutions LLC, disagrees Competition will
take care of that, he says. In his view, as
long as this method of stock trading can be
done by anyone with the resources to
participate, and if the process leads to
lower overall trading costs for investors,
then he is all for it.
How does Edgar Perez, author of
Knightmare on Wall Street
(http://knightmareonwallstreet.com)
analyze the situation? Mr. Perez will open
the door to the secretive world of
computerized low-latency trading, the most
controversial form of investing today; at

the world of high-frequency trading.

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, India,
and Brazil. The flash crash, the suspended BATS 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 with participants.
