Next generation Trading software

Introduction

The next generation of trading software has already arrived. The software takes advantage of heavy operating computer force from the cloud, as well as artificial intelligence in order to get an edge over the market. Read more in this blog about the constant development of the advanced software from ASA Trading Software.

Welcome to ASA Trading Software

Welcome to the first article about ASA Trading Software. The objective of this blog, is to provide a deeper understanding of how we will be working and developing ASA Trading Software ongoing.


EA, also known as Expert Advisor, is and ordinary expression for so called trading robots. I would like like to emphasize that ASA Trading Software has a completely different objective, and a much more complicated that those so called EAs. The EAs are limited because they often are limited to e.g. programming in a piece of software called Metatrader. The programming language MQL4 is very limited, required a lot of heavy work and does not include a database. In the event that there are many calculations, the MQL4 can not handle the code. Therefore, we have been forced to develop our own system.


Moors law has made a very powerful cloud based computer force available for a far greater audience. With API technologies such as Google, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft, it is now possible to work with artificial intelligence in the cloud. And why exactly is that interesting?


Information has always been a power factor, however, today we are practically flooded with data. So in this modern day, the art is to work the data as fast as possible. Preferably in real time. This is now a possibility by performing a real time probability assessment,which is completely correct probabilistic.


Visual recognition technology, is being trained to be able to recognize all the patterns that a trader uses. This can be characterized as a technical analysis. The technical analysis compares historical data with real time data, in a manner where the result is probabilistic correct. Furthermore, every fundamental data in the calculations are added, thereby mapping out all the parameters that could influence the price development.


ASA Trading Software is therefore a probability calculations machine. The more horsepower added in the form of cloud based computer force, the closer we will get to Real time.


The future and next generation software will be a competition on being the first with probability calculations. Because in the future there will more and more people taking advantage of deep learning, and artificial intelligence in order to get the most probabilistic correct assessment.

In the next article, I will be talking about a few examples on how we train the artificial intelligence in order for it to make its assessments as good or better than humans.
