HFT Amsterdam: Our Algorithmic Trading Strategy Interview Series

HFT London discussed trading and algorithmic trading strategies used by many of the key players within the HFT world. As part of the lead up to our second event (HFT Amsterdam) we are presenting a series of interviews with some of the key speakers that were produced by our media partner www.highfrequencytradingreview.com .

HFTR: Ok, so HFTs generally hold a position for less than a minute?
