Today's financial community is bombarded by massive amounts of information from real-time datafeeds, risk management systems and other intelligence sources. Analytic and historical databases hold formidable amounts of data imperative to decision making. In the time it takes to organize and process this information opportunities are often missed. The difficulty of analyzing this volume of data is compounded by the relationships between various markets. Interest rates affect currency prices, currency prices affect stock prices, stock prices affect option prices.
News affects all markets.
Traders and analysts must understand the interdependencies of these dynamic relationships to stay at the top of their game. With all these moving data points it is becoming increasingly difficult to spot opportunity and avoid disaster. Large quantities of numerical data are virtually impossible to understand quickly. The fastest way for the human brain to absorb large quantities of data is through a visual model. Humans have the ability to understand pictures instantaneously.
