Presented by Hudson River Trading
An automated trading system makes investment decisions, sends instructions to exchanges, and has profit (or loss) at the end of the day, all without human intervention. In this talk, you’ll learn how a computer could make investment decisions – and the basics of what happens when you try to trade a stock on an exchange.
