A Note From The Editor
Wall Street & Technology proudly introduces Advanced Trading, a quarterly publication that focuses on the sophisticated strategies and technologies that are driving the future of trading. Our mission? To arm financial executives with the critical information they need to succeed in the quickly changing trading environment. On the pages that follow you'll find coverage of electronic marketplaces, algorithmic trading, best-execution strategies, market data, trading infrastructure and much more.
There couldn't be a better time to launch Advanced Trading. The trading landscape is changing rapidly with the maturation of technology, and new regulations such as Reg NMS are transforming the industry. And, most important, the buy side is becoming more tech-savvy; buy-side traders are demanding advanced trading technology on their desktops as well as to be serviced with innovative strategies from the sell side.
It's clear that the markets are no longer "evolving." Rather, the rate of change is accelerating. The markets are in a state of flux and trading executives need a relevant informational resource to help them interpret the changing landscape. We've decided to skip the banquet and outing pictures to focus on the critical insights you need to stay on top of your game. Welcome to Advanced Trading, the new authority on electronic trading.
