Devexperts Attends the Electronic Trading Asia 2007

The Devexperts Company took part in the Electronic Trading Asia 2007 conference which took place on September, 12-13th, 2007 in Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong.

Electronic trading has become a part of the mainstream in response to buy-side traders’ need to move large blocks of shares with minimum market impact in today’s complex institutional trading environment. With a myriad of service providers in the marketplace, the decision about which trading service provider to select can be challenging for many buy-side firms and is dependent upon several key factors.

Electronic Trading Asia 2007 presented an overview of key providers in the marketplace and the factors that affect the decision to buy or build.

  • Gain an overview of electronic trading in Asia and learn what impact it will have on your business from leading global experts
  • Save time and money when you see all the products available in our in-depth and highly targeted 2-day trade exhibition product showcase
  • Top experts explain how to select a provider, calculate the costs associated with automated trading, compare performance, select the correct system, and manage the relationship between institutions and brokers

Devexperts specializes in development, implementation and support of the software systems, designed for comprehensive automation of brokerage, exchange and financial activities, mostly for options and FOREX markets. At our stand you could meet the most qualified software developers in the area of brokerage, stocks/derivatives, risk management and FX/CFD/SB. Also, you could talk over the retail and institutional online trading issues.
