NewsHedge APIs

Twitter. The New Normal.

Throughout each trading day, thousands of press releases and news snippets are being released from a growing list of financial media sources. But when it’s a market-moving event—also known as a trading catalyst—influential traders and authoritative media sources instantaneously take to Twitter to share and discuss the particulars—making Twitter the go to source for breaking news, key insights, and market sentiments.

But how can we leverage Twitter’s powerful flow of information for event-based trading within an algorithmic environment?

With the NewsHedge ALPHA API Twitter Edition, you’ll not only detect market-moving events as they happen, but you’ll also be able to systematically interpret and react to them, too.

How it Works

NewsHedge, together with Metricle.com—a Twitter analytics company—leverage a two-part information discovery process for finding and processing key news events:

1. Finding Catalysts
NewsHedge first determines what is market moving by using exchange data. Specifically, NewsHedge low-latent algorithms examine an asset’s order book, time and sales, and trade volume for unusual price and volatility shifts commonly brought on by news.

Machines drive the markets when news breaks. NewsHedge built a real-time solution for detecting what those machines are doing.

2. Processing Context
Secondly, once NewsHedge generates an alert, Metricle connects the alert with contextual information found on Twitter. Specifically, Metricle leverages its multi-tiered curation techniques to process conversational sentiments, tag events, measure trends, and gauge social velocity data.

Humans share information on Twitter when news breaks. Metricle built A.I. technologies for analyzing what those humans are sharing.

The result is a highly predictive, easily consumable, fast-moving data set which allows firms to react to unscheduled news events in a quick and accurate manner—algorithmically.
