Engineering Infrastructure for Systematic Trading at GSA Capital

This talk will introduce GSA Capital and provide an overview of the technology and infrastructure. The session will explore the role of the Technology team and topics will include the collaboration between engineers and researchers, tech stacks, and how it supports researchers in developing and deploying trading strategies.

The talk will also present an engineering project focused on compressing exchange trade and order data into an efficient binary format, reducing the replay time by around ten-fold, enabling rapid generation of intraday equity trading signals.
