Masters in Business interview of Keith Ross, Chief Executive Officer of PDQ Enterprises -- pdqats.com-- dark pool operator, and former CEO of high-frequency algorithmic trading company Getco.
Interviewer is Barry Ritholtz (ritholtz.com) who wrote:
In our conversation, we discuss what High Frequency and Algorithmic trading are, the changes in Market Structure over the past 30 years, and what the proper role of the Exchanges should be. It gets a bit wonky once the conversation whether HFTs are superior to Specialists, the plusses and minuses of Fragmentation. We also head a little deeper into the weeds on issues of Co-location, Packet-sniffing, Spoofing, Quote-stuffing and Walking away. I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up front running as well.
