Fall 2017 STAC Summits
The Fall 2017 STAC Summits are now open for registration:
STAC Summits bring innovative technologies face-to-face with important engineering challenges in finance like alpha generation, risk management, trade execution, regulatory compliance (including MiFID 2 time sync), and other business imperatives involving fast data, big data, and big compute.

The STAC-TS Working Group has poured a lot of effort into developing standards and software for demonstrating timestamp accuracy to the satisfaction of European regulators concerned with RTS 25 of MiFID 2. Much of that effort has concerned software-application timestamps. App timestamping is central to many firm's plans but is one of the most misunderstood issues with RTS 25.
Focusing RTS 25 compliance exclusively on clock sync is like preparing your child for an entrance exam by simply ensuring she has sharp pencils. Necessary? Yes. Sufficient? Hardly.
