LONDON - June 21, 2013 - PRLog -- The markets you operate in are changing quickly, driven by regulation, new technology, and the evolving demands of increasingly sophisticated investor clients. Costs are up. Alpha is harder to find. Liquidity has fragmented across a plethora of new platforms. More than ever, traders are under pressure to deliver the best possible execution, and to prove that they have done so.

Developed from in-depth research with over 100 FX professionals from throughout the trading value chain, it is packed with content, case studies and insightful panel discussions designed to help you adapt to the rapidly changing trading landscape. Peer reviewed by market leading FX specialists, this year’s agenda is designed to answer the questions that every FX trader is asking themselves:

-          How do I find the best liquidity at the right price?

-          Which platforms, banks and brokers should I be executing with?

-          What are the tools and technology I need on my trading desk?

-          How can I effectively measure trading performance?

-          How will I be affected by pending regulatory change and what should I be doing about it?

-          What is the impact of algorithmic execution and how should I incorporate it into my trading strategy?

-          Does the increase of HFT techniques represent a threat or an opportunity?

-          What impact will the new rules regarding clearing and settlement of derivatives have?

-          How do I best access liquidity in emerging market currencies?
