Today's market has grown increasingly volatile and every day brings different challenges to the trading community. In this ultra-competitive environment, it is critical to keep apprised, if not ahead, of the latest developments in technology, regulations and cross- market opportunities. After our Chicago events last year where we had 200+ of your Chicago trading colleagues, we listened to what you wanted to hear: How are new regulations going to impact us? What do I need to have in place to start up a prop trading firm successfully? What is the latest and greatest when it comes to the high frequency space? Which asset class will provide the greatest growth opportunities? What type of algorithm will I need? And how will I handle the data needs of my company? |
