The key to profitable decision-making is analytical efficiency. Traders and managers must have the tools that allow them to assimilate huge amounts of new information and identify and understand correlations with past performance.
Most financial institutions have moved away from monthly or weekly reports to daily, intra-day and even tick databases that their reporting engines access on demand. The resolution of time series data sets has increased from twelve data points per year to 10 billion and above. Simultaneously, the time available to retrieve and analyze this data has been reduced by competitive pressures, downsizing and other factors. Overnight batch jobs are simply no longer acceptable. People need to make informed decisions instantly, particularly when making business critical trading decisions.
In this webinar, Panopticon’s Peter Simpson and Keith Wood and Domenic Iannaccone from Sybase describe the unique challenges presented by time series finanical data, examine typical usage models, and explain best practices for successful implementations. They will use example system configurations and data sets that will clarify how such a platform can be deployed in front and mid office business scenarios.
They will cover these key concepts:
* What is a Time Series?
* Data Frequency
* Data Volumes
* Storage, Access & Analysis
* Calculations
* Aggregation
* Conflation
* Data Filling & Interpolation
* Time Series Display & Interactivity
This webinar will utilize tick history data from German Equity markets. You will learn how to analyze that data to determine absolute and relative performance.
