 Passcode: 282847  On Thursday the 29th of April IMC Trading will host a 
 lunch lecture from 12:30 to 13:30. During this lecture\, Christoph Heller 
 will tell you all about creating fast electronic trading systems. Make sur
 e you sing in quickly as you can win a pair of JBL wireless earbuds! Title
 : When every Nanosecond Counts – Creating Fast Electronic Trading System
 s Abstract: Nowadays\, the vast majority of financial securities are trade
 d electronically: data centres have replaced crowded trading floors and di
 gital communication networks have replaced the shouting and hand signs of 
 the open outcry trading of the past. Electronic trading improved throughpu
 t\, fairness and determinism on the markets\, but also started a speed rac
 e between market participants. Today\, on technically advanced exchanges\,
  latency differences in the single-digit nanosecond range can make the dif
 ference between getting or missing a trade. In competitive markets\, parti
 cipants therefore need extremely fast trading systems to monetize profit
 able opportunities. In this talk\, I will explain the basics of electronic
  trading and the interaction of a trading system with an exchange. Based o
 n that\, I will present and discuss various approaches to optimize the lat
 ency and maximize the performance of an electronic trading system.  CV: C
