Our trading style is completely different. We do not switch between the stocks to often, so we dedicated each of the upper 20 screens to specific stocks. The bottom 4 screens deal with the info you mentioned.
Dude, you can't show that system right after MAESTRO shows his. Going to be pretty tough to top him. LOL
That's probably the case, but I was refering to the ability of a trader to effectively process a high volume of disparate data from many sources versus that of a CPU to do so and bring it to the traders attention when some threshold is met, whether it be simple data feeds or analysis. By the by, you've obvoiusly put a lot of thought into this, and I'm not challenging how you have things set up, just hoping to learn something. If you have a chance in general terms to talk about how traders use the screens, not about proprietary analytical tools, it would be interesting. Congrats on the new capital.
The trading process looks something like this: First, our robotic system does the latent semantic analysis of the securities we are trading to determine an overall sentiment for the security. Then the system produces possible entries on the underlying and related option chains to produce option constructions that are most appropriate for the current situation. Those orders are placed automatically on those 20 monitors along with the intermediate sentiment analysis that is based on current supply/demand spectrums to help traders to verify those orders and release them to live accounts (4 accounts). As the orders getting filled another orders (exits or correction orders) are getting populated and presented to traders. Along with all of that the news robots produce the current news analysis (120 different feeds) and prevent the traders from acting on some "hot" situations. The positions are monitored automatically and traders getting alerts on all the positions changes and could implement "repair" strategies (if needed) produced by "repair" robots. Obviously its more complex but it will give you an idea.
pure, simple and clear 3d program generated pic.... without question. confirmed by a dear friend who works in that field. lesson over all you have to do to prove its real is take a pic standing in front of the monitors Its rendered, by the look, the lighting, textures and general feel you can tell it was made in a 3d program
Thanks Maestro. Makes sense. Are the items petaining to an underlying (sentiment, recommended option positions, news, repairs, etc.) grouped amoung adjacent screens in some standard fashion? Also, how is the trader alerted to change focus, for example if initial anaysis suggests a profitable trade for final approval...audio cues, visual cues, continuous scanning by the trader...? Interesting stuff and thanks again.
The change of focus is done by either mouse click or by voice (we used standard Microsoft voice recognition Active X control). The arrangement of chains is standard: Underlying is in the middle, 5 possible calls on the top and 5 possible puts on the bottom. The chains are changed automatically per alerts. Traders get alert by voice and color (blinking characters).
