This is a speculative post .. I'm trying to find out a little bit about the kinds of automated black-box trading systems that banks and hedge funds are using ,, when I say this I don't mean mechanical trading systems based on technical indicators. I mean statistical arbitrage ..
Anyone know what products and markets a lot of black-boxes are on .. ?
what are the majority of systems doing .. IS IT stat arb mostly ? or are there a lot of news/figure systems trading automatically on the releases of economic data .. ? What other kinds of systems are there ... ?
Interested as have some knowledge of stat arb in futures,options, cash, FX forwards, swaps etc.. and wondered is everyone just doing it knowadays .. ? Is it still mostly banks ..?
And also .. how much arbitrage opportunities therefore still exist in the respective markets...?
I will do my own research and this is only a quick/lazy way of finding out, but it is always a good idea to ask some others that certainly have more experience in the markets.
Please any knowledge is useful ...
