Setting the record straight on High Frequency Trading w/ Robert Smith [TalkingHedge #3]

Our guest for this episode is Robert Smith, former CTO of GETCO (now Virtu Financial) and CEO at Applied Financial Technology.  

Many people will have read Michael Lewis’ book called “Flash Boys” talking about the growth and practices of High Frequency Traders and got the impression that it was all about market arbitrage and profiteering. Rob Smith is here to give the other side of the story, from the point of view of the high frequency traders. A unique opportunity to challenge received wisdom on a fascinating topic from one of the pioneers of the industry.
