Real Time News

Real-time news & insight for predictive trading models

Institutional trading professionals are responsible for many of the dynamic shifts taking place in today’s equities markets. That’s because the algorithmic trading models they employ automatically move huge numbers of shares based on real-time news and can trigger large, sustained price shifts. To make accurate, well-timed trades, institutional and electronic trading professionals need essential real-time news on company financials, earnings, economic indicators, taxation, regulation shifts and more. 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 turns your real-time news into a long-term advantage

To make the most of market cycles, institutional 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 real-time news by uncovering hidden market trends and opportunities algo applications may miss.

Instead of assigning news stories an arbitrary “sentiment score,” Dow Jones Lexicon’s derived data technology looks at real-time news – and even archival content -- in an unbiased way. As low-latency news hits the wire, words within the news articles are coded based on academically defined measures for sentiment, strength and litigiousness and then quantitatively analyzed for frequency and use. This data can then be use to support algo trading models.

Technology to transform your real-time news

Dow Jones Lexicon is delivered as a real-time XML feed or as a batch at the end of the trading day.  It is also available as an add-on to Dow Jones News & Archives so that high-frequency traders can devise predictive trade models based on historic market cycles.
