Case Study: Gesellschaft Fuer Trendanalysen (GFTA) achieves real-time, accurate FX predictions and decision support with Rogue Wave Software (PV-WAVE & IMSL)

Leading Foreign Exchange Analysts use PV-WAVE and IMSL

Gesellschaft Fuer Trendanalysen (GFTA) is an independent decision‑support provider for major players in the foreign‑exchange market that must distill gigabytes of historic data plus live tick feeds into reliable short‑term exchange‑rate predictions. To meet the high accuracy and uptime demands of clients who pay on a profit‑sharing basis and may cancel at any time, GFTA partnered with Rogue Wave Software, using the PV‑WAVE visualization tools and the IMSL mathematical and statistical libraries.

Rogue Wave Software’s PV‑WAVE and IMSL enabled GFTA to implement C/C++ time‑series and statistical models that run on servers every few minutes, with PV‑WAVE used on desktops for visual validation and numeric analysis of model output. The solution turns complex model output into simple buy/sell quantities for traders, producing better‑than‑chance predictions that help clients win more deals; the tools also accelerate development (IMSL can reduce programming time by up to 95%) and provide cost‑effective, repeatable data‑mining and validation workflows.
