Matthew Clements, editor of The Technical Analyst comments, “Over the last decade we have witnessed two major developments. Firstly - with the rise of systematic trading, machine learning and AI - trading systems have become incredibly sophisticated in terms of enabling users to develop and implement trading and investment strategies. Secondly, the global financial crisis and MiFID II have resulted in a significant increase in the number of independent research houses.
