High Frequency Trading

Real-time market insight for high-frequency trading

High-frequency trading professionals are responsible for many of the dynamic shifts taking place in the equities, commodities and currency markets. That’s because high-frequency trading models automatically move huge numbers of shares based on market drivers and can trigger large, sustained price shifts. Timing is everything and to make lucrative, well-timed trades, institutional and electronic traders need accurate real-time news available, including company financials, earnings, economic indicators, taxation and regulation shifts. Dow Jones is the leader in providing high-frequency trading professionals with elementized news and ultra low-latency news feeds for algorithmic trading.

Dow Jones Lexicon helps build more predictive models for high-frequency trading

To make the absolute most of market cycles, high-frequency trading professionals need to know where the market is headed, not just where it is right now. Dow Jones Lexicon helps traders get more out of their low-latency news to uncover hidden market trends and opportunities algorithmic applications miss.

Instead of assigning news stories an arbitrary “sentiment score,” Dow Jones Lexicon’s derived data technology looks at news – even archival content -- in a truly unbiased, quantitative way. As real-time news is published, words are coded based on sentiment, strength and litigiousness and then quantitatively analyzed for frequency and use. This data can then be use to create objective indicators to support high-frequency trading models.

Technology tailored to today’s electronic trading platforms

Dow Jones Lexicon is flexible to the needs of today’s electronic and institutional trading professionals. It allows traders and trading platforms to leverage their own custom dictionaries and in-house research while also deploying Dow Jones Lexicon to process = news content.

Dow Jones Lexicon is delivered as an XML-based feed in real time or as a batch at the end of the day, and is available as an add-on to Dow Jones News & Archives.
