How does day trading affect the stock market?

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I’m doing my junior project on how online stock exchange has affected the stock market. For one of my body paragraphs, I’m focusing specifically on day traders. I would assume they have a great impact on the stock market, but I need to know a lot more info. It’s a little hard to find. Even if you could just give me links, that would be great. I’ve gotta pound the rest of this paper out tonight…. Thanks in advance!

Good Financial News Sites to Follow for Trading Stocks?

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Hello,
I am a software engineer and am in the initial design phase of a stock-bot (i.e. automated trading system using machine learning and lots of other math/science/statistical techniques).

One of the things I would like to be able to do is gather financial news articles relating to the market on a daily bases, and process those. I have found a few (hopefully) good sources of finance news like Yahoo Finance and CNN Money, but I’d just like to know what news sites the experienced traders out there like to get their news from?

Also, if any of you are familiar with building stock bots, any useful input would be appreciated. On the flip side if your answer to this post is that it is impossible or stupid thing to build, please include an intelligent justification for that kind of response (simply just saying it is a bad idea is neither useful nor informative).

Thanks in advance
Mike

PS. All negative responses (i.e. don’t try to build a stock-bot responses) that don’t contain an intelligent justification for why not (as asked previously) will be assumed to have come from unintelligent people and disregarded :)
