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:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
