Algorithmic Trading - Technical Design

Technical Design

The technical designs of such systems are not standardized. Conceptually, the design can be divided into logical units:

  1. The data stream unit (the part of the systems that receives data (e.g. quotes, news) from external sources)
  2. The decision or strategy unit
  3. 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:

    In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.
    Marilyn French (20th century)
