Thai Exchange Welcomes High-Frequency Trading, Another Reason to Attend High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 in Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R., October 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) has become the latest exchange in Asia to embrace high-frequency trading by inviting bids for a contract to replace its trading system with one that would cut trading speeds and provide a new surveillance and market data services. Executives and professionals in the region are invited to attend High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 (http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com), "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies," instructional and insightful 2-day workshop organized by Golden Networking in Hong Kong, November 22 & 23 and New York, December 9 & 10.

As reported by the Financial Times, "Mr Charamporn Jotikasthira, exchange president, said the request for proposal covered 'the entire trading of cash and derivatives products' and should be finalized by February. This would ensure 'continuity' between now and the installation of the new, group-wide trading platform. 'The aim is to be able to attract global money from all new types of participants,' Mr Jotikasthira told FT Trading Room at the World Federation of Exchanges annual conference. Asked if this included high-frequency traders, he said: 'Definitely.' He added that anything the Thai exchange would do to attract such traders would also involve installing risk systems that were 'robust enough' given the lessons of the 'flash crash' in US markets."

High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 is produced by GoldenNetworking.net (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs, investors and diplomats, founded by former McKinsey consultant and Columbia Business School MBA Edgar Perez.
