New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/20/2011 -- Contrary to some popular perceptions, high-frequency trading on steroids could become reality as speed trading gets bigger, stronger and more prevalent. While there are some potential regulatory changes that might impact the growth of high-frequency trading, it would be impossible to stop the evolution of technology that speed trading represents.
