Description
About Olsen
Olsen is a leading provider of e-finance technology and services, including high-frequency market data, advanced forecasting models and integrated risk management. The group has also launched the investment industry's first online currency trading platform for micro transactions.
Since its founding in 1985 by economist Richard Olsen, this research-driven organization has played a pioneering role in the development of the young field of high-frequency finance. Over the years, Olsen has conducted ongoing analysis of its extensive database of filtered tick-by-tick market data. This work has provided major new insights into the underlying mechanics of the financial markets as well as new ways to approach managing each market's inherent risks.
Specifically, the firm has contributed to the growing body of evidence that markets have internal structures, with participants acting in prescribed ways based on their differing profiles and time horizons. Within this framework, Olsen has demonstrated that financial time series exhibit significant deviations from a random walk and can be conditionally forecast.
