Wall Street data is different from Main Street data. The capital markets generate data that can change hundreds of thousands of times a second. Traders use this to make split-second, high-value, risk-laden decisions. Then use quantitative analysis and AI to assess and adjust decisions in real-time.  

Banks are notoriously secretive about the tools, techniques, and innovations they employ to power this machine. This webcast peeks behind that veil of innovation.   

Over 60 minutes, I (Conor Twomey, Head of AI Strategy, KX) was joined by Mark Palmer (Time Magazine Technology Pioneer) to explore Wall Street’s leading-edge applications of high-frequency data in trade ideation, intelligent trade execution, and continuous risk management.
