Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World (http://www.thespeedtraders.com), was featured on Channel NewsAsia, Asia Business Tonight, on the upcoming roll-out plan of ASEAN Trading Link.

The roll-out plan of the ASEAN Trading Link will see the collaboration of seven major stock exchanges in Asia, and experts have warned stock exchanges to approach the plans with deliberation. Announced on Thursday, the first stage will have the Singapore Exchange and Bursa Malaysia connected by June 2012. However, experts said there could be challenges along the way.

The Speed Traders author Edgar Perez said: “It’s been difficult in regulating markets individually – the US markets and specifically European countries’ and each country in Asia. Imagine what is going to be the case whenever you have different exchanges that are totally interconnected? At this moment, we are living in a world where… any change in any part of the world can easily be transmitted to other exchanges. Therefore, the potential for trouble exists there and it’s probably higher than in the past.”

The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders explains everything there is to know about how today’s high-frequency traders make millions—one cent at a time. In this new title, The Speed Traders, Mr. Perez opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading. Inside, prominent figures drop their guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade.
