Haven't wall street firms been doing this for decades now? I remember 10 years ago I created a trading algorithm that ran by itself without my intervention. I fail to see what is different about this company than some generic quant hedge fund.

#32The clickbait headline is amusing, but "Wall Street" has been doing this > 10 years. I'm genuinely not sure if they're trying to "beat wall street" or simply be yet another quantitative hedge fund that happens to use machine learning and neural networks to power their strategies. Most real electronic trading firms are putting those algorithms in hardware. Source: Have worked in HFT the past 10 years.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

HFT is a different kind of 'beating the market', though, don't you think?

His point was trying to bet against a momentum trade or some other scenario was foolish. He watched time and again. There were opportunities to get with the crowd, or be on the wrong side.

I mean sure, but take glassdoor with a huge grain of salt, people make up crap to post on there all the time.

I used to have a stock broker co-worker who had one rule for investing if day trading or even trying to employ a strategy: "You can't fight the Street." His point was trying to bet against a momentum trade or some other scenario was foolish. He watched time and again. There were opportunities to get with the crowd, or be on the wrong side.
A friend who works in quant finance said something along the lines of "if a trader can identify a mom-and-pop investor, it's like taking candy from a baby" in terms of making an easy profit.
