Howard Getson | Chief Executive Officer
Capitalogix Trading
Howard runs a hedge fund - and the data science company that powers it.
Capitalogix created a revolutionary financial technology platform that uses Adaptive A. I. to maximize performance with real-time insights.
While most high-frequency trading focuses on using technology to make thousands of transactions in a short period of time, our technology performs millions of observations and only acts on the opportunities determined most likely to have an edge.
