INTRODUCING: “INSTANTANEOUS TRADE”
We are at an interesting crossroads for the field of algorithmic trade. In the past few decades, the field has pushed the limits of computational and networking capacity. As a few milliseconds, or even micro-seconds made a difference a veritable arms-race has commenced that shapes the current high frequency trading landscape. Though we’ve seen an incline in the speed of technologies that enable this, the statistical rules of the game have remained the same. But as any trader will know, there is more than just information, there is also correlation in trade. And whereas information is restricted by the speed of light, random correlation is not. In this talk I’ll introduce you to the quantum network and give an example on how the seemingly random correlations allow you to create a win strategy that is better than without instantaneous correlation. Quantum changes how we experience statistics
