• Description: In high-frequency trading, programs analyze market data to capture trading opportunities to trade securities like stocks or options. The Database will be automatically downloaded and update information from online stock market on hourly bases. After the data is updated, using combination of mathematical models such as the "Black Scholes Formula," probability and statistics, etc... the computer will predict which stock to buy. It could be also programed so that the computer buys the predicted stocks or options automatically, because humans are too slow.
