One of the world’s leading financial media houses, Dow Jones & Company has teamed up with a software provider to create a program that allows fund managers and brokers to analyse instantly and continuously how a news story can affect a company’s share price.
Under the deal, listed group Progress Software Corporation will provide the Dow Jones news feed through its Apama Algorithmic Trading Platform. The software package will allow institutions to create their own algorithmic trading strategies that can analyse and react to news that can affect the prices of equities, derivatives, foreign exchange and fixed-income instruments.
“Dow Jones is revolutionising how news can be analysed and acted upon by algorithmic trading applications. Our partnership with Progress and its market-leading Apama algorithmic trading platform reflects the increasing need for traders to make decisions as news happens in a more rapid, automated way,” said Dennis Cahill, senior vice president and chief product officer of the Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group.
Meanwhile, Apama Products founder and vice president Dr. John Bates explained, “Economic, political and business news significantly impact market behavior. Until now, however, it has been difficult to incorporate that data in automated trading applications, and even more difficult to do that in real-time, while the news is breaking.”
But the group’s invention could change that and is part of the ongoing refinements to the way many institutions do their quantitative market analysis.
Dow Jones & Company publishes The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch and the Far Eastern Economic Review. It also owns Dow Jones Newswires, Factiva, Dow Jones Client Solutions, Dow Jones Indexes and Dow Jones Financial Information Services.
