In the stock market, time is money.

Heralding a new age in share trading, robots, in the form of uniquely-crafted software, have stepped up the game by silently working behind some of the most successful trades. Investors are trading with style at the comfort of their smart phones, and often at the speed afforded by institutions. This is making a huge difference to traders who have the undivided attention of robots scanning over 25,000 contracts, 5,000 securities per second to identify incredible live trades.

Mobile apps 2.0 is on the scene: Traders want to react to market movements faster and in real time pushing boundaries of tradition market methods , making market movements in less than a second and importantly, with just a swipe.

Robots can do what humans can't: A typical investor can only remember so much information, due to the human brain capacity, which at its very best will still not perform in the same capacity when compared to robot. In the Stock Market, terabytes of data in form of information is changing every minute. To arrive at a structure, old-school traders use tedious excel sheets and manually go through trade possibilities. This not only takes them away from actually trading but also is quite monotonous given that there are hundreds of rows and columns rolling up and down on the screen.

Imagine the power of all this work and that too available at your fingertips. You are always just a small tap away from lucrative trades.
