Conventional wisdom suggests that markets are efficient, random
walks and that stock prices rise and fall with the fundamentals of
the company. How then have black-box traders prospered and how do
they exploit market inefficiencies? Are their strategies on their
last legs or will they adapt to the new landscape amidst the global

black-box industry’s rise to prominence and their influence on the
market place. This is not a story about what signals they chase,
but rather a story on how they chase and compete for the same
signals
