New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/22/2011 -- Only a day is left for Early Bird Registration for High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2011 Hong Kong, "How Speed Traders Leverage Cutting-Edge Strategies in the Post-Flash Crash World", September, 19-21, (http://www.HFTLeadersForum.com) to expire.

If last May’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2011 in New York is any indication, this Hong Kong forum will bring together traders, quants and investors to discuss high-frequency trading and the strategies that make it so consistently profitable. Manoj Narang, Chief Executive Officer of Tradeworx, has commented that consistency is what makes high-frequency trading so appealing. A successful high-frequency trading strategy will generally have a Sharpe ratio higher than four, and a successful high-frequency trading operation which runs multiple high-frequency strategies will generally have a double-digit Sharpe ratio. Such high Sharpe ratios are unheard of in traditional investment styles ran by major institutions.

To get this high level of consistency, you must exploit the ‘law of large numbers’, which is the most fundamental principle of statistics, to the maximum possible degree. That means making as many independent bets as possible within a single trading day. In order to do that with a finite set of tradable securities, you must turn your positions over very quickly. So, the most consistently profitable high-frequency trading strategies are therefore the ones that have the shortest holding periods.

Dave Cummings, founder of Tradebot,, one of the biggest high-frequency traders around, told students in 2008 that his firm, had not had a losing day in four years,. Truthfully, that is just how the law of large numbers works. Because the speed market makers can calculate where they want their orders placed much more accurately and quickly than their human counter-parts, they are able to profit from razor thin margins at high volume and offer much tighter spreads, which helps everyone.
