Performance Measures for Algorithmic Trading
Automated Order Execution is the dominant way of executing trade orders for the last couple of years at major stock markets. There is a variety of algorithms that are designed to serve different purposes and traders preferences. In Automated Order Execution a computer-based algorithm is used to buy (or sell) a position while attempting to achieve a benchmark specified by the client. Therefore the selected benchmark is used as a measure of trader's performance. It is undoubtedly difficult to define one standard measure for all trade executions as the objectives can be very different. There are … [Read More...]

The aim of […]
WUST – from Hugo Steinhaus seminar on applications of mathematics to the ECMI Node
The Wrocław University of Science and Technology (WUST) was founded in 1945 on the basis of the German Königliche Technische Hochschule Breslau and scientific traditions of the Lvov Polytechnic. Since the very beginning of its existence it has been an important centre of technical education. Today it belongs to the best technical universities in Poland. […]
Waves and Nonlinear Phenomena
(by Helge Holden, Professor at NTNU) The Department of Mathematical Sciences at NTNU was happy to receive in 2016 one of the “Toppforsk” (Excellence) grants from the Research Council of Norway. Fiercely competitive, these grants are given to smaller groups across all sciences for a period of 5 years. The grant – Waves and Nonlinear […]
Cryptography and cyber-security at NTNU and the mathematics of electronic elections.
(by Kristian Gjøsteen, Professor at NTNU) Cryptography as a practice is very old, dating back at least 2000 years. The birth of modern cryptography can reasonably be set to 1976, when Diffie and Hellman published their seminal paper «New directions in cryptography» containing the first protocol to allow Alice and Bob to communicate securely without first […]
