Tradebot Systems provides liquidity to the stock market.
In the old days, short-term liquidity was provided by specialists or floor-traders. In the past 10 years, their role has largely been replaced by sophisticated high-speed computer models. CNBC still reports live from the floor of the NYSE to preserve an outdated illusion for the public - the reality is the vast majority of the trading is now done by computers.
Each trading day, our algorithms analyze the market data and send millions of limit orders into the market. These limit orders often tighten the bid/ask spread paid by long-term investors. When the market data changes, our systems recalculate the price we are willing to buy or sell at, and adjust our limit orders in milliseconds.
