Abstract

Introduction

This report combines all eight briefs from the trading system transformations theme for Q3 2006. Areas covered include an overview of drivers behind automation in the front office, an explanation of various algorithmic trading strategies in use as well as an examination of technology considerations behind their implementation.

Scope

*Covers US, Europe and Asia
*Forecasts IT spend, split by region and institution type

Highlights

Sophisticated trading tools are rising in demand for lowering transaction costs, discovering hidden liquidity located amongst abundant data volumes and generating superior returns, whilst maintaining a view of risk management.

Products such as futures, options and FX have been the first instruments to move into the algorithmic trading space, building on their electronic capabilities. Market leaders in this sector are thought of as being more technologically savvy and having experienced algorithms in equities may find the switch to more structured products easier.

Another area of focus for institutions has been event stream processing (ESP), a technology fuelled by the desire to use greater computing power to analyze streaming data. This technology aims to detect patterns in vast amounts of incoming market data in order for algorithms to efficiently act.

Reasons to Purchase

*Understand the driving forces behind demand for automated trading tools
*Gain visibility on the latest developments in algorithmic trading
*Use Datamonitor's timely and concise analysis of key business and technology issues to develop a compelling go-to-market strategy
