On June 10th, 2017 Bob Van Valzah of Sun Trading shared a piece of his Saturday with us to discuss Electronic Trading using a number of real-world examples. We kept the conversation intentionally light, and Bob explained how trading works in terms that nearly everyone should be able to comprehend.

The goal of this Podcast is to bring technology leaders to the mic to explain the latest innovations, sometimes in terms, everyone can understand. I can’t guarantee we won’t nerd out every now and then, it’s in our nature, but we will cover leading-edge technologies, and products often not discussed in more consumer focused forums.
