Business Cases:

OneTick GUI: Query Language Query Example: Bollinger Bands Buy/Sell Signals Runs Historical (for research & backtesting) or Real-Time (alerts & signal generation) A “Nested query” for Bollinger Bands calculations A “Nested query” for Bollinger Bands calculations NOTE: One of the nodes can be a custom code in R or C++, C#, Java, Python, Perl, MatLab Trades

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Based Multi-Factor Trading  Based on “Developing High-Frequency Equities Trading Models” by Leandro Infantino and Savion Itzhaki, 2010  Claim: By filtering out “noise” in a portoflio of stocks through PCA, we might be able to “predict the future” and make some gains  Testing approach: 1.OneTick price and quote history. Portfolio of stocks. Test 1 day at a time. 2.Define PCAWindowSize (e.g., 15 min); Run PCA on the initial PCAWindowSize; Run regression with given MemoryWindowSize (e.g., 30 sec); Calculate betas 3.For the rest of the day: Run PCA over sliding PCAWindowSize buckets; Forecast using calculated betas, Try to generate trading signals; Update betas per MemoryWindowSize bucket; keep track of returns and PnL OneTick + R OneTick+ R Sample Use Case:

Use nested query _get_log_return as a source OneTick+ R Testing approach Pass sliding sub-matrices into R for PCA, etc “Nested” query Merge all portfolio log returns and transpose into matrix BBO.. MID.. Log Returns

OneTick+ R: Built-In R Integration Generic OneTick bucket aggregation parameters R in-process call parameters Full Strategy in OneTick+R - Work in Progress Sample ETA is next month. Contact us for details.

PCA Based Statistic Multi-Factor Trading Initial Tests  Preliminary test results. Testing: 1 day of TAQ for December 15 th 2010 quotes, 25-symbol portfolio. To be tested further… Cumulative PnL assuming position limit of 1 unit per stock Cumulative Returns assuming equal weights
