Nasdaq has about 3500 listed companies, so that's only ten parameters per company. Not that many. If you're talking about running the algorithm per market participant then it's an even weirder claim.


Yes but if Nasdaq's total market cap is $30 trillion, that's about $750 billion per algorithm. Surely we need more algorithms.


No billion left behind


So you just assumed that parameters are defined company-wise?


Nasdaq employees drink 15,000 cups of coffee a day, that's close to 2 parameters per cup


I wouldn't say I assumed anything. I would just say that the statement about number of parameters and algorithms is incoherent, or at least so vastly underspecified as to communicate no meaning.
