Case Study: Global Advisors achieves timely, faster trading signals and cuts computation time from hours to minutes with Rogue Wave Software (PV-WAVE)

Global Advisors™, Ltd. Uses PV-WAVE® to Deliver Clients Timely Trading Information

Global Advisors, a hedge fund specializing in energy and metals commodity trading, faced rigid, slow legacy systems that hindered adaptive, quantitative-driven trade recommendations. To modernize its analytics and deliver timely trading signals, Global Advisors adopted Rogue Wave Software’s PV-WAVE visual data analysis environment to import, manipulate and visualize large, complex market datasets and test model adaptability.

Rogue Wave Software, working with Global Advisors, implemented PV-WAVE and consulting services to build a quantitative trading signals engine covering 40–50 commodities with linear and non-linear optimization and robust visualization for model “reality checks.” The work cut core computation time from about three hours to a few minutes, enabled faster deployment of sophisticated algorithms, and allowed Global Advisors to deliver timely, higher-quality signals to traders.
