Uh…. up almost 1000 points at the relative speed of light?

The pace of the markets has changed a bit wouldn’t you say?

In other words, take a quant driven hedge fund, add an intraday momentum algorithm, put a server at the exchange and HOLD ON for dear life. For now let’s call this “quants on the run.”

Being one to use speed and rhythm in addition to price and volume to read the markets it is a bit like being on the world’s newest and fastest roller-coaster … but it also gives enormous opportunity to catch a? trend and make a day, week, month or year…. and lots of very sophisticated traders are trying to do just that.

…something to keep in mind
