Singapore Exchange (SGX) and the Association of Financial and Commodities Traders (AFACT) today announced the launch of the inaugural SGX Professional Traders Symposium to be held on 15-16 May 2010.
Showcasing the latest in trading development and technologies, the symposium is the result of joint efforts between the financial industry and professional user groups and is primarily aimed at increasing the pool of professional traders.
During the weekend event, participants will enjoy intensive and in-depth sessions on subjects such as algorithimic trading, strategies in options trading and the psychology of trading. Key presenters at the symposium include successful SGX trading members in the commodity and derivative space.
Mr Magnus Bocker, CEO of SGX said, “We are glad to be part of this project to position Singapore as the destination of choice for professional traders., SGX provides international traders with easy access to Asia’s growth and dynamism via its highly-liquid products and offshore memberships. The trading community also can expect good support from SGX including the ability to benefit from our sound trader development programmes.”
Mr Ng Tee How, President of AFACT said, “This is an important milestone for our professional traders’ community which offers not only the opportunities for learning, but also interaction with traders outside Singapore. This symposium will definitely benefit professionals like our AFACT members. We will be able to harness the best of the trading industry to enhance our capabilities and sharpen our edge.”
