11.20 Does India represent a new Eldorado for HFT firms? Ashish Chauhan, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Bombay Stock Exchange Jay Muthuswamy, Professor, Kent State University Zameer Syed, Chief Architect & CEO, QUANTUS InfoSoft Philip Joslin, Senior Director for Clearing Sales India, Newedge When assessed by number of trades, the Indian market rates third behind the US and China which makes it massive. But the value of those trades remains much smaller - India rates at 10th in the world. High Frequency Trading in India is mostly undertaken by domestic Indian players. It accounts for 6-8% of the cash equities market, and 18-20% per cent of equity derivatives – which leaves plenty of room for growth. HFT firms in India have to follow Exchange rules which are different to the West. For instance, the NSE requires algorithmic traders to have their algos cleared by the Exchange before they are allowed to use them. We know that India has very strong IT expertise, but does this translate into HFT profit opportunity? Is the regulatory and trading regime supportive of foreign HFT strategies? Does the market structure support HFT? Are there sufficient market makers? How do trading venue transaction costs compare with the rest of the world? Who are the Indian HFT players and how would you rate their performance? Ashish Chauhan Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Bombay Stock Exchange Ashish currently works as the Deputy CEO, Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). BSE, set up in 1875, is the oldest stock exchange in Asia. BSE is ranked amongst the top 5 stock exchanges in the world by number of trades and amongst the top 10 stock exchanges in the world by market capitalization.

12.20 Low latency trading in China and the move towards HFT platforms & market structures Emily Yu, Director Head of IT Planning & Strategy, Shenzhen Stock Exchange Shen Tao, Head of Algo Trading, Guosen Securities Jack He, Chief Technology Officer, BNY Mellon Western Fund Ralph van Put, CEO of True Partner Holding, Adjunct Professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, While China is a few years behind western financial markets and will use algo technologies to support automated trading rather than high frequency strategies, change is coming. The larger trading venues are introducing colocation services and the technology platforms have opened the door to the technical ability to practice HFT. What stands in the way is a regulatory framework that follows its own path rather than western trends. Here we assess how Chinese traders are using low latency strategies to exploit arbitrage opportunities in China and how HFT will evolve in Chinese markets.
