Lime Brokerage's George Hessler talks to Automated Trader's US Director at Progress Apama's "Trading in a Perfect Storm" seminar in New York. Hessler highlights the shift from a high VIX to low volatility trading environment as both a challenge and opportunity, citing new instruments such as ETF's with double or triple leverage as a potential tool to counter falling volatility, and talks about the shift away from larger proprietary trading firms as traders set up shop on their own.
