Python, C, C++ Programmer

WSA would not exist today if it wasn't for our understanding of the Algorithmic logic that defines Wall Street and financial markets. We have successfully reverse-engineered what makes the market move, and it's based on relatively simple Quantitative statistical measures. Of the millions of stock market participants, a very small number of institutions (i.e., "Smart Money"), have the biggest influence on how the market moves day-to-day.

At WSA, we believe the market does not trade entirely randomly — it trades systematically, quantitatively, algorithmically.
