New York, NY, April 28, 2014 -- Global scrutiny of high-frequency trading and wh ether it gives some investors unfair advantage has intensified amid government p robes and the March 31, 2014 publication of "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis. While those examinations have focused mostly on U.S. equity markets, such as dark poo ls run by banks and broker-dealers and exchanges owned by companies including Na sdaq OMX, IntercontinentalExchange Group's NYSE Euronext and Bats Global Markets , high-frequency traders are active internationally in futures, FX and fixed inc ome markets, as they also run multi-asset strategies. High-frequency traders have been called many things, from emerging masters of th e universe and market pioneers to exploiters, computer geeks, and even predators and thieves. Everyone in the business of investing has an opinion of speed trad ers, but how many really understand how they operate? The shadow people of the i nvesting world, today's high-frequency traders have decidedly kept a low profile , until now. The Speed Traders Workshop, "How Banks, Hedge and Mutual Funds and Brokers Battl e Markets 'RIGGED' by Wall Street's 'Flash Boys', High-frequency Trading, Exchan ges and Dark Pools" (http://thespeedtradersworkshop.com), is the first and most comprehensive initiation to the world of high-frequency trading., opens the door to the secretive world of computerized low-latency trading, the most controvers ial form of investing today; in the name of protecting the algorithms they have spent so much time perfecting, speed traders almost never talk to the press and try to disclose as little as possible about how they operate.

The flash c rash , the suspended BATS IPO, the botched Facebook IPO, Knight Capital's trading ma lfunction and NASDAQ's Flash Freeze are just a few of the milestones in the hist ory of high-frequency trading that will be dissected with participants. Knightmare on Wall Street, the fascinating story of Knight Capital put together by course director Edgar Perez, was the most favorably reviewed Kindle edition b ook on Amazon in 2013, with an average rating of 5 out of five stars.
