A major Hedge Fund has a team dedicated to short-term trading based on special situations and Unscheduled news events that create short term opportunities in one or more tradable instruments (e.g. Stocks, Futures).
These types of events can be modeled based on previous occurrences and correlation with one or more trading instruments.
Since these types of events are unscheduled, the occurrence and timing is not known and thus requires that the event be detected in near real time to maximize profits.
As stocks, options and futures markets become dominated more and more by High-Frequency Trading (HFT) algorithms, the time to profit is reduced to near zero.
Without a systematic, automated approach to detecting news events and efficient triggering of trade execution, firms are left out of the trade or in the red.
