Abstract:

With more than five years of experience in financial technology field, the speaker will introduce practical challenges in this fast growing algo-trading market. As all traders want better "weapons" to give them trading edge over others, this drives better financial technologies to be developed: from speeding up transformation of trading ideas to quantifiable strategies; improving efficiency and accuracy in strategy simulation; better flexibility of computing power for optimization; faster big data engine to handle various kinds of market data and information; lower latency in data extraction and order execution; to better security to protect the trade secrets; which ultimately, provide more opportunities in algo-trading.
