During the second quarter, RTS hosted a variety of educational and thought-provoking events throughout key U.S. and European markets.  Topics of the events included algorithmic trading, risk management, sponsored access and the latest technology trends in trading, in addition to the MTF roundtables. Seminars included:

April: San Francisco
This was RTS’ first West Coast event as part of the firm’s effort to expand its reach into the region. Co-hosted with Eurex, the seminar featured seasoned panelists including Paul Zubulake from AITE Group, Oren Rosen from The MathWorks, Lothar Kloster from Eurex and Brian Haag from RTS. Moderating the panel was Ben van Vliet, professor from the Illinois Institute of Technology.

May: London & Chicago
These algorithmic trading seminars were co-hosted with The MathWorks, RTS’ recently announced partner. RTS has integrated The MathWorks popular MATLAB, the interactive technical computing environment, into RTD Tango, RTS’s algorithmic trading solution. This integration enables algorithmic traders to significantly reduce the time from idea to production, greatly increasing their firms’ operational efficiencies as they are able to capture new opportunities in one integrated environment. Focusing on CME Group’s interest trade products, the Chicago based seminar was also co-hosted with CME Group.

Close to 200 people attended the London and Chicago events. Special thanks to the participating exchanges as well as Automated Trader, which served as a media partner.

June: New York
This algorithmic trading and infrastructure seminar, co-hosted by Eurex and Equinix, discussed the “Top 5 Considerations” for a trader’s electronic trading infrastructure. Also, participants learned how to leverage their intellectual property using RTS’ algorithmic trading “toolbox” RTD Tango.
