Prop Trading – From Past to Present at FMLS:23

Prop trading originally started with financial institutions investing their own capital, independent from customer funds. Initially, this technique was limited to banks and large financial institutions. The digital age however, has since enabled real-time trading and data processing, making prop trading accessible to smaller companies and individuals.

This democratization of trading ultimately laid the groundwork for the development of online prop trading. Fast forwarding to the present, prop trading has undergone a proliferation and has quickly become ubiquitous in the retail trading industry.

This includes the evolution of online prop trading that has been fueled by technology. In tandem, algo trading also has grown in popularity, enabling traders to execute sophisticated strategies with speed and precision that would otherwise be unattainable.

In addition, prop traders have come to rely heavily on market access and execution speed. Even milliseconds of delay can result in missed chances or negative price executions. To solve this, prop trading firms have made significant investments in IT infrastructure to assure low-latency market access.

In light of these trends and with the popularity of prop trading trending higher in 2023, what does the future hold for this space and the companies that offer proper trading? FMLS:23 will explore this subject at length, drawing upon the brightest minds from across the industry.

Each curated panel or session features some of the biggest names, thought leaders, brands, and experts. With pop trading in focus, prospective and registered attendees can view the live agenda for FMLS:23.
