Hi there:



I want to refer to an old documentar y of quant trading:



https://youtu.be/ed2FWNWwE3I



In this documentary, around minute 42:37, it is said that the algorithms saw some kind of false news related to United airlines, according to this documentary… It started to send sell orders…  Now I was wondering… 



How to you make algorithms fetch news in real time?? And how do you make them learn that it has to act inreaction of a particular news event?? 



Thanks a lot

Hi Ghery,



You can gain a ton of knowledge about this process from the following blog:

  • Methodology of Quantifying News for Automated Trading



    And alternatively, if you wish to go one step ahead and develop the skillset required for trading based on news, social media trends, etc, you may want to check the Quantra course on Trading Strategies with News and Tweets. In the course, you will learn to predict the market trend by quantifying the market sentiments.



    I also recommend you read through some of the FAQs answered on the course page about the domain.



    I hope this was helpful.
