In the 17th century, it is said that the Rothschilds could balance equity markets to their advantage by flying pigeons relay data before their colleagues. Today's equivalent is high-frequency trading, the main topic of discussion on high frequency trading leaders Forum 2013 30 July Tech2Trade Expo 2013, as part of New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).
According to Government Service Europe, HFT makes extreme volatility and even has led to a ' flash crash '. On May 6, 2010 the American Dow Jones index plunged 1,000 points-or 9 per cent of the total-only to recover those losses within minutes. This shock was a direct result of HFT. And the sequence of events is activated by a single sale of $ 4 1.1 in futures contracts by a mutual, in an aggressive attempt to hedge the investment position. This was quickly enlarged by HFTs, creating a snowball effect.
Not only that, the minor uses for such a trade device are just too pumps pension funds or to make more wealth for the super rich. All this without really investing in a productive assets-a company that could make a difference to the broader society. Each integrity markets may once had now lies in tatters.
At present, the world of HFT analogous to a border-city. Only this time, it is not displaying wild west-style behavior but the machines that we have people. The flash crash of 2010 was a wake-up call. However, it seems the regulators are still asleep and we all know where that leads-circa 2008 global economic crisis, we are still facing today. Maybe, carrier pigeons were not such a bad idea after all.
