Q-SmartLab demonstrates live algorithmic trading at Euromoney

For the second consecutive year, CMU-Q has showcased its Securities Market Analysis Research and Training Lab (Q-SmartLab) at the Euromoney Qatar Conference.

Qatar business owners and managers mingle with government leaders at Euromoney to get the latest happenings and tools from Qatar’s financial and economic sectors.

Q-SmartLab is a big data solution developed at Carnegie Mellon Qatar. During the Euromoney event, the Q-SmartLab booth attendants used real-time prices to demonstrate live algorithmic trading in the currency markets.

One of the most used features of the Q-SmartLab is the tools’ ability to research and explore the ties between algorithmic trading and extensive learning.

Creators of the Q-SmartLab are Zeeshan Hanif, Q-SmartLab manager and researcher; John O’Brien, associate dean; and Fuad Farooqi, assistant teaching professor of finance.
