SAMSUNG TO ACQUIRE UK KNOWLEDGE GRAPH STARTUP TO UPGRADE GALAXY AI

Posted on July 18, 2024 by Ken Pierce



June Wan/ZDNET

Samsung said on Thursday that it has agreed to acquire Oxford Semantic
Technologies, a UK-based startup with knowledge graph technology.

The South Korean tech giant said combining such technology with its on-device AI
like those on the Galaxy S24 series will deliver "hyper-personalized" user
experiences while personal data remains secure on the device. The company didn't
share the specifics of the deal.

Knowledge graph technology stores information like an interconnected web of
related ideas and process data similarly to how humans acquire, remember,
recall, and reason knowledge, Samsung said.

This enhances the understanding of how people use products and services, which
enables rapid information retrieval and recommendation, the company said.

Also: Samsung's S95D OLED is the best TV of CES 2024 and best in the world right
now

Oxford Semantic Technologies, founded in 2017, offers its technology in the form
of its AI engines dubbed RDFox which can be applied to devices to boost their
on-device AI capabilities, Samsung said, adding that it has been working with
the startup since 2018.

The graphs offered by these engines integrate information and context across
various services and apps, Samsung noted, which allows it to craft a user
experience that is tailor-made for the user by becoming increasingly familiar
with their preferences and usage. The South Korean tech giant said it plans to
apply the engine on its mobile devices, TVs, and home appliances.

The introduction of Galaxy AI gave a much-needed boost in sales for the Galaxy S
series in Samsung's latest entry, as smartphone hardware improvements reach its
limitations which has hampered growth in the premium sector in recent years. AI
can be that new growth propeller, so Samsung is looking to improve Galaxy AI
further.

Also: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 vs Z Fold 5: Which premium model should you buy?

However, while the popularity of AI is real, what kind of business models
companies can find from it is still an open question. Subscription is a
possibility, but Samsung will need to justify it with content and services.
Additionally, AI improvements inevitably requires data collection which raises
security concerns. On-device AI, by processing data on the device end rather
than going through the cloud, has been proposed as a solution to that concern.
And who offers more devices than Samsung?

KUDOS TO DIRECTOR VIDAL FOR EMBRACING THE HARD CHALLENGES OF LEADERSHIP

Posted on July 18, 2024 by Ken Pierce

“[The] challenges are complex and will take time to address. However, it is a
brave act of leadership to officially recognize these challenges and meet them
head on.”

Later this week, our nation and the world will celebrate the 55th anniversary of
Neil Armstrong’s first moonwalk. Before that historic event, President John F.
Kennedy explained why the U.S. undertook such a challenge:

> “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not
> because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve
> to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that
> challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to
> postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.”

To me, the inspiring part of the speech was not the goal of going to the moon
itself but embracing that goal and others “not because they are easy but because
they are hard.”  


DELAYS DISCOURAGE INNOVATION 

I am delighted that U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Director Kathi
Vidal is doing just that: embracing the hard challenges. Moreover, she is
tackling a worthy cause—patent pendency. According to the USPTO dashboard, the
number of unexamined patent applications reached 785,387 in May 2024, nearing an
all-time high. High patent pendency, caused by the large number of unexamined
patent applications, is problematic because the USPTO’s ability to meet patent
demand is crucial for protecting intellectual property rights and fostering
technological progress, which in turn ensures the current and future
competitiveness of the United States. Why? The high number of unexamined patent
applications can discourage inventors and businesses from pursuing innovative
ideas. Delays in patent approvals can also slow down the commercialization of
new technologies, affecting economic growth. Businesses may hold off on
launching new products until they have secured patent protection, leading to
lost revenue and reduced market competitiveness. Prolonged patent pendency also
creates a period of uncertainty where inventors and companies do not have clear
rights to their innovations. This can lead to legal disputes and hinder the
ability to attract investment or form partnerships. In a global market,
efficient patent processing is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. If
the U.S. patent system is slower than those of other countries, it could
disadvantage American inventors and companies, leading to a shift of innovation
activities to countries with more efficient patent systems.

All this said, the problem of high patent pendency is neither new nor easy to
solve. The backlog has been growing steadily over the past 17 years for several
reasons. These include the competitive labor market for potential patent
examiners who have the necessary technical degrees and backgrounds, the
increasing complexity and multidisciplinary nature of patent applications, and
institutional difficulties in extending working hours and increasing pay for
patent examiners. Additionally, the USPTO took important steps several years ago
to improve patent quality, including extending the time allotted to examine each
patent application, which exacerbated the pendency problem.  


REACHING THE MOON

These known challenges are complex and will take time to address. However, it is
a brave act of leadership to officially recognize these challenges and meet them
head-on. It is equally important to acknowledge that the agency has already
taken certain steps to address the pendency. For instance, in 2022, the USPTO
began implementing processes for routing patent applications to increase the
likelihood that a patent application would be assigned to an examiner with the
right technical background in the first instance. The agency also extended
working hours so examiners would have more flexibility and could increase
productivity. Significantly, the USPTO recently announced that for the first
time in years, it secured an increase in the special rate compensation table
that covers nearly 9,000 patent professionals at the agency. Thus, patent
examiners can now make more money, helping the agency attract and retain
talented examiners.  The USPTO also adjusted its award structures to better
attract and reward employees who make meaningful contributions to the
agency’s pendency and quality goals. 

It is also critical that the agency continue to explore and identify additional
potential contributing factors to the pendency problem as well as to recognize
that some solutions may come from outside the agency. As Director Vidal herself
stated, “Like other USPTO initiatives, reducing pendency requires stakeholder
participation.” I would argue that, in addition to inviting the thoughts of
outside stakeholders, it will also require help from Congress—working with the
agency to fully understand the multidimensional reasons for increasing pendency
and acting as a partner to find and fund solutions.

Kudos to Director Vidal for reaching for the moon and addressing this hard
challenge.

LABOUR’S PLANS ARE NOT A QUICK FIX FOR UK ECONOMY

Posted on July 18, 2024 by Ken Pierce

10 hours ago

By Faisal Islam, @faisalislam, Economics editor

The King’s Speech seeks to fix some of the plumbing, wiring and foundations of
the economy to “get Britain building”.

It will take well into next year before we see any impact on economic growth
from these plans.

In fact, the primary piece of legislation announced by His Majesty is to promote
“economic stability”. This is noteworthy. Stability is not something that
normally needs legislating for, but something which would be taken for granted
in the UK.

The plans outlined include a lot of fiddly changes to how the government makes
big decisions on planning, infrastructure, housing and transport. The bottom
line is to give private investors more certainty about the economy and about
policy.

The “Budget Responsibility Bill”, for example, is an elaborate way of saying
there will never be another disastrous Liz Truss mini-Budget moment.

No future chancellor will be able to wave away the judgement of the government’s
independent financial forecaster the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) as
occurred in late 2022, when Truss announced £45bn in unfunded tax cuts.

The hope is that this will be such a rock of credibility and stability that
investment into the UK will boom, and borrowing rates for householders,
businesses and the government itself will fall back and not go back up again.
Internally they call this “fixing the foundations”.

The OBR’s role in judging the affordability of every single policy, elsewhere in
the speech, is now hard-wired. It also has an immediate role in judging whether
all the other policies announced actually promote growth. This is the most power
the OBR has ever had and gives it huge influence over this government's
policies.

Is this transformative? The government argues that stability itself is almost
revolutionary after several years of rolling chaos. But does the chancellor
really need legislation to prevent her from doing a Liz Truss?

The really big consequence of this approach is to point to a moment this summer
when the OBR will decide whether all these reforms actually will boost growth.

It has previously given credit to policies that it expects to boost the economy,
for example factoring in former chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s childcare policy into
its growth forecasts.

If the OBR does this again for Labour’s planned draft laws then it will help
“improve the so called trade-offs” and there will be less pressure to cut
spending or raise taxes.

If the OBR does not believe Labour’s plans will boost growth significantly then
it’s difficult to see how it can avoid raising taxes or detailing spending cuts
at the forthcoming Autumn Budget and Spending Review.

The government is using its large landslide majority to push through some
politically painful changes that should boost growth longer term.

It will be a wait to see if it works, and it’s currently putting a lot of
emphasis on measures which may take a long time to deliver.

HOW J.D. VANCE SEEKS TO REORIENT THE REPUBLICANS’ APPROACH TO BUSINESS

Posted on July 17, 2024 by Ken Pierce

Vance’s history of sharp criticism of the former president.Credit…Doug Mills/The
New York Times

Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate and a possible successor to
lead the “Make America Great Again” movement.

Much will be made of Vance’s light political résumé — he was elected to the
Senate only two years ago. He’s also been scathing about Trump in the past,
having called him an “idiot” and himself a “Never Trump guy.” But Vance says
he’s a convert, becoming one of Trump’s biggest backers and adopting a similarly
populist approach to the economy and business.

Vance’s biography appeals to left-behind voters — and investors. The 39-year-old
served in Iraq and later went to Yale Law School, where he met his wife, Usha
Vance. (She resigned from her role as a trial lawyer at Munger Tolles & Olson
after Vance joined the ticket.) Vance rose to national prominence after
publishing the best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy.” He worked at Mithril
Capital Management, a venture capital firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, and Steve
Case’s Revolution. He also started his own fund with backing from Thiel, Eric
Schmidt and Marc Andreessen.

Silicon Valley helped get him on the ticket. Vance is close to the libertarian
wing of the tech industry. Thiel gave millions to his Ohio Senate campaign in
2022 and Vance is reportedly close to David Sacks, the venture capitalist who
has hosted a Trump fund-raiser at his home and spoke at the Republican National
Convention on Monday.



DealBook examined Vance’s links to business, and his views on the economy and
industry:

 * Vance has been tough on regulation, and has backed Lina Khan, the F.T.C.
   chair. Some tech investors celebrated having a former V.C. on the ticket. But
   Vance has said Big Tech is too powerful and called for Google to be broken
   up. He’s also backed some of the Biden administration’s efforts to constrain
   the industry. While many Republicans and business leaders have attacked Khan,
   Vance has said she is “one of the few people in the Biden administration who
   I think is doing a pretty good job.”

 * Vance is pro labor. He says the postwar economy has relied too heavily on
   cheaper labor, a tactic that undercuts wages for American workers and has
   been exploited by big business. He’s argued that employers’ zeal for cheap
   labor has helped lead to a surge in unauthorized immigration to the U.S. and
   that consumers have become addicted to products made in low-wage countries.
   Those factors have aggravated America’s foreign trade deficit and hit
   domestic manufacturing, he’s said.

 * Vance isn’t sold on the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency. Last
   year, during an exchange with Jay Powell, the Fed chairman, Vance said dollar
   dominance was good for Americans’ purchasing power but a “tax on American
   producers.” Like Trump, he is supportive of crypto and is reportedly working
   on legislation that would change how the U.S. regulates digital assets.

 * Vance is all in for Big Oil. He has expressed skepticism about the role of
   humans in causing climate change, and has attacked the Inflation Reduction
   Act, which provided incentives for the green transitions. Instead, he called
   for more drilling for shale oil in Ohio.

He’s seen as another Republican who has distanced himself from the
pro-globalization wing of the party. “Vance is a leader of the post-financial
crisis Republican generation,” Matt Stoller, research director at the American
Economic Liberties Project, told DealBook, and is trying to reorient how the
party thinks about economic policy.

Yet Vance’s ideological approach, and his positive comments about Khan, worry
some in business. “Trump populism and Vance populism are not the same,” one big
bank lobbyist told The Financial Times.

IS PROPRIETARY TRADING THE FUTURE OF INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY?

Posted on July 17, 2024 by Ken Pierce

Methods and strategies employed by traders and financial institutions have seen
significant transformations in recent years. From the days of floor trading to
the current era of electronic and algorithmic trading, the finance sector has
continuously adapted to technological advancements. Amidst these changes,
proprietary trading, often called prop trading, has emerged as a pivotal
component, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead of the curve.





Proprietary trading involves financial firms trading stocks, bonds, commodities,
or other financial instruments with their own money rather than on behalf of
clients. This strategy allows firms to capitalise on market inefficiencies and
profit from their trading activities. With the integration of advanced
technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning,
proprietary trading firms can now analyse vast amounts of data and execute
trades with unprecedented speed and accuracy.





Let’s explore the pivotal role of proprietary trading in shaping the future of
investment technology. By examining its evolution, impact, and prospects, we aim
to comprehensively understand how prop trading is revolutionising finance.





II. The Evolution of Investment Technology





Several key milestones have marked the journey of investment technology, each
contributing to the transformation of the trading landscape. In the early days,
trading was predominantly manual, with traders relying on face-to-face
interactions and telephones to execute trades. The advent of electronic trading
in the late 20th century marked a significant shift, enabling faster and more
efficient transactions.





Technological advancements, such as the development of trading algorithms and
the rise of high-frequency trading (HFT), further revolutionised the industry.
These innovations allowed traders to execute many trades in milliseconds,
capitalising on minute price discrepancies. The integration of AI and machine
learning has taken this further, enabling traders to analyse complex data sets,
identify patterns, and predict market movements more accurately. AI can be used
to develop trading strategies based on historical data and market conditions,
while machine learning can continuously improve these strategies based on
real-time market feedback.





Recent trends in investment technology have seen the rise of robo-advisors,
blockchain technology, and decentralised finance (DeFi). These innovations
democratise access to financial markets and provide new opportunities for retail
investors. However, proprietary trading remains at the forefront of
technological innovation, leveraging these advancements to gain a competitive
edge.





III. Understanding Proprietary Trading





Proprietary or prop trading involves financial firms trading with their capital
to generate profits. Unlike traditional investment strategies that include
managing client funds, prop trading firms take on the risk and reward of their
trading activities. This approach allows them to employ more aggressive and
innovative strategies, often driven by advanced technologies.





Key players in the proprietary trading space include hedge funds, investment
banks, and specialised prop trading firms. These entities employ teams of
quantitative analysts, data scientists, and traders who develop sophisticated
trading models and algorithms. The goal is to identify and exploit market
inefficiencies and generate profits through rapid and precise trade execution.





One of the primary differences between proprietary trading and traditional
investment strategies lies in the level of risk involved. While conventional
asset managers focus on long-term growth and risk mitigation, prop trading firms
are more inclined to take on higher risks for the potential of higher returns.
This distinction underscores the importance of advanced technology in prop
trading, as firms rely on data-driven insights and automated trading systems to
manage risk and maximise profits.





IV. The Impact of Proprietary Trading on Investment Technology





Proprietary trading has been a driving force behind many of the technological
innovations in the finance sector. The need for speed, accuracy, and efficiency
in executing trades has led to the developing of advanced trading software and
tools. High-frequency trading platforms, for instance, are designed to manage
many trades in fractions of a second, capitalising on fleeting market
opportunities.





Integrating quantitative research and algorithmic trading has further enhanced
the capabilities of prop trading firms. By leveraging mathematical models and
statistical analysis, these firms can identify patterns and trends that may not
be apparent through traditional analysis. This quantitative approach is
complemented by AI and machine learning, which enable traders to process and
analyse vast amounts of data in real-time.





Several proprietary trading firms have successfully leveraged these advanced
technologies to achieve remarkable results. For example, firms like Renaissance
Technologies and Citadel have become industry leaders by employing sophisticated
trading algorithms and machine-learning models. These success stories not only
underscore the transformative potential of proprietary trading in the investment
technology landscape but also inspire us with the possibilities of technological
innovation in finance.





V. Proprietary Trading Tools and Technologies





The tools and technologies used in proprietary trading are at the cutting edge
of financial innovation. Algorithmic trading platforms, for instance, enable
traders to automate their strategies and execute trades based on predefined
criteria. These platforms can process market data, identify trading
opportunities, and manage orders with minimal human intervention.





Big data analytics plays a crucial role in proprietary trading, allowing firms
to analyse vast market data and extract actionable insights. Prop trading firms
can make more informed trading decisions by leveraging data from various
sources, including social media, news feeds, and economic indicators. Machine
learning algorithms further enhance this data-driven approach, which can
identify patterns and trends that may not be apparent through traditional
analysis.





The future of proprietary trading tools and technologies will likely be shaped
by continued advancements in AI, machine learning, and blockchain technology.
These innovations can further enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of
trading activities. For instance, AI can be used to develop more sophisticated
trading algorithms that can adapt to changing market conditions in real-time.
Machine learning can be applied to improve risk management strategies, and
blockchain technology can be used to enhance the security and transparency of
trading operations. These advancements can provide prop trading firms with a
competitive edge in the ever-evolving financial markets.





VI. Challenges and Considerations





Despite the many advantages of proprietary trading, there are also significant
risks and challenges associated with this approach. One of the primary risks is
the potential for substantial financial losses, as prop trading firms are
trading with their capital. This risk is compounded by the high level of
leverage often employed in prop trading strategies, which can amplify gains and
losses.





Regulatory considerations are also critical in proprietary trading. Financial
regulations vary across jurisdictions, and prop trading firms must navigate a
complex web of rules and compliance requirements. For example, the Volcker Rule
in the United States restricts banks’ ability to engage in proprietary trading,
aiming to reduce systemic risk and protect consumer deposits.





Ethical considerations and market impact are also important considerations for
proprietary trading firms. Using high-frequency trading and algorithmic
strategies can contribute to market volatility and raise concerns about market
fairness. As such, it is essential for prop trading firms to operate
transparently and responsibly, ensuring that their activities do not undermine
market integrity. This emphasis on transparency and responsibility should leave
the audience feeling reassured about market integrity.





VII. The Future Outlook of Proprietary Trading





The future of proprietary trading will likely be shaped by continued
technological innovation and the evolving landscape of financial markets. As AI,
machine learning, and blockchain technology continue to advance, prop trading
firms will have access to even more powerful tools and insights, enabling them
to stay ahead of the competition. This emphasis on the role of advanced
technologies in shaping the future of proprietary trading should leave the
audience feeling optimistic about its potential.





Emerging markets and sectors present significant growth opportunities for
proprietary trading firms. As global financial markets become more
interconnected, prop trading firms can leverage their technological capabilities
to capitalize on opportunities in previously inaccessible regions and asset
classes. Expanding into new markets will likely drive further innovation and
competition in prop trading.





Ultimately, the sustainability and ethical considerations of proprietary trading
will play a crucial role in shaping its future impact. By embracing
technological advancements and adhering to responsible trading practices, prop
trading firms can continue to drive innovation and contribute to the evolution
of investment technology.





Proprietary trading has emerged as a critical driver of innovation in the
investment technology landscape. By leveraging advanced tools and technologies,
prop trading firms can execute trades with unprecedented speed and accuracy,
generating significant profits and shaping the future of financial markets.
However, these firms need to navigate the associated risks and regulatory
considerations, ensuring that their activities contribute positively to market
integrity.





As we look to the future, the continued advancement of AI, machine learning, and
blockchain technology will likely play a pivotal role in sustaining the impact
of proprietary trading. By embracing these innovations and adhering to
responsible trading practices, prop trading firms can continue to lead the way
in the ever-evolving world of investment technology.

trading activities. This approach allows them to employ more aggressive and
innovative strategies, often driven by advanced technologies.





Key players in the proprietary trading space include hedge funds, investment
banks, and specialised prop trading firms. These entities employ teams of
quantitative analysts, data scientists, and traders who develop sophisticated
trading models and algorithms. The goal is to identify and exploit market
inefficiencies and generate profits through rapid and precise trade execution.





One of the primary differences between proprietary trading and traditional
investment strategies lies in the level of risk involved. While conventional
asset managers focus on long-term growth and risk mitigation, prop trading firms
are more inclined to take on higher risks for the potential of higher returns.
This distinction underscores the importance of advanced technology in prop
trading, as firms rely on data-driven insights and automated trading systems to
manage risk and maximise profits.





IV. The Impact of Proprietary Trading on Investment Technology





Proprietary trading has been a driving force behind many of the technological
innovations in the finance sector. The need for speed, accuracy, and efficiency
in executing trades has led to the developing of advanced trading software and
tools. High-frequency trading platforms, for instance, are designed to manage
many trades in fractions of a second, capitalising on fleeting market
opportunities.





Integrating quantitative research and algorithmic trading has further enhanced
the capabilities of prop trading firms. By leveraging mathematical models and
statistical analysis, these firms can identify patterns and trends that may not
be apparent through traditional analysis. This quantitative approach is
complemented by AI and machine learning, which enable traders to process and
analyse vast amounts of data in real-time.





Several proprietary trading firms have successfully leveraged these advanced
technologies to achieve remarkable results. For example, firms like Renaissance
Technologies and Citadel have become industry leaders by employing sophisticated
trading algorithms and machine-learning models. These success stories not only
underscore the transformative potential of proprietary trading in the investment
technology landscape but also inspire us with the possibilities of technological
innovation in finance.





V. Proprietary Trading Tools and Technologies





The tools and technologies used in proprietary trading are at the cutting edge
of financial innovation. Algorithmic trading platforms, for instance, enable
traders to automate their strategies and execute trades based on predefined
criteria. These platforms can process market data, identify trading
opportunities, and manage orders with minimal human intervention.





Big data analytics plays a crucial role in proprietary trading, allowing firms
to analyse vast market data and extract actionable insights. Prop trading firms
can make more informed trading decisions by leveraging data from various
sources, including social media, news feeds, and economic indicators. Machine
learning algorithms further enhance this data-driven approach, which can
identify patterns and trends that may not be apparent through traditional
analysis.





The future of proprietary trading tools and technologies will likely be shaped
by continued advancements in AI, machine learning, and blockchain technology.
These innovations can further enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of
trading activities. For instance, AI can be used to develop more sophisticated
trading algorithms that can adapt to changing market conditions in real-time.
Machine learning can be applied to improve risk management strategies, and
blockchain technology can be used to enhance the security and transparency of
trading operations. These advancements can provide prop trading firms with a
competitive edge in the ever-evolving financial markets.





VI. Challenges and Considerations





Despite the many advantages of proprietary trading, there are also significant
risks and challenges associated with this approach. One of the primary risks is
the potential for substantial financial losses, as prop trading firms are
trading with their capital. This risk is compounded by the high level of
leverage often employed in prop trading strategies, which can amplify gains and
losses.





Regulatory considerations are also critical in proprietary trading. Financial
regulations vary across jurisdictions, and prop trading firms must navigate a
complex web of rules and compliance requirements. For example, the Volcker Rule
in the United States restricts banks’ ability to engage in proprietary trading,
aiming to reduce systemic risk and protect consumer deposits.





Ethical considerations and market impact are also important considerations for
proprietary trading firms. Using high-frequency trading and algorithmic
strategies can contribute to market volatility and raise concerns about market
fairness. As such, it is essential for prop trading firms to operate
transparently and responsibly, ensuring that their activities do not undermine
market integrity. This emphasis on transparency and responsibility should leave
the audience feeling reassured about market integrity.





VII. The Future Outlook of Proprietary Trading





The future of proprietary trading will likely be shaped by continued
technological innovation and the evolving landscape of financial markets. As AI,
machine learning, and blockchain technology continue to advance, prop trading
firms will have access to even more powerful tools and insights, enabling them
to stay ahead of the competition. This emphasis on the role of advanced
technologies in shaping the future of proprietary trading should leave the
audience feeling optimistic about its potential.





Emerging markets and sectors present significant growth opportunities for
proprietary trading firms. As global financial markets become more
interconnected, prop trading firms can leverage their technological capabilities
to capitalize on opportunities in previously inaccessible regions and asset
classes. Expanding into new markets will likely drive further innovation and
competition in prop trading.





Ultimately, the sustainability and ethical considerations of proprietary trading
will play a crucial role in shaping its future impact. By embracing
technological advancements and adhering to responsible trading practices, prop
trading firms can continue to drive innovation and contribute to the evolution
of investment technology.





Proprietary trading has emerged as a critical driver of innovation in the
investment technology landscape. By leveraging advanced tools and technologies,
prop trading firms can execute trades with unprecedented speed and accuracy,
generating significant profits and shaping the future of financial markets.
However, these firms need to navigate the associated risks and regulatory
considerations, ensuring that their activities contribute positively to market
integrity.





As we look to the future, the continued advancement of AI, machine learning, and
blockchain technology will likely play a pivotal role in sustaining the impact
of proprietary trading. By embracing these innovations and adhering to
responsible trading practices, prop trading firms can continue to lead the way
in the ever-evolving world of investment technology.
