Technical Design
The technical designs of such systems are not standardized. Conceptually, the design can be divided into logical units:
- The data stream unit (the part of the systems that receives data (e.g. quotes, news) from external sources)
- The decision or strategy unit
- The execution unit
With the wide use of social networks, some systems implement scanning or screening technologies to read posts of users extracting human sentiment and influence the trading strategies.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or design:
“The best work of artists in any age is the work of innocence liberated by technical knowledge. The laboratory experiments that led to the theory of pure color equipped the impressionists to paint nature as if it had only just been created.”
—Nancy Hale (b. 1908)
“We find that Good and Evil happen alike to all Men on this Side of the Grave; and as the principle Design of Tragedy is to raise Commiseration and Terror in the Minds of the Audience, we shall defeat this great End, if we always make Virtue and Innocence happy and successful.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
