Trading automation is a wave sweeping across the financial industry. Bloomberg's Rule Builder has become a key multi-asset automation solution for trading professionals. An insightful article about the trend can be found at: https://www.bloomberg.com/professional/blog/trading-automation-rise-rise-electronic-trading/

Rule Builder is what our clients use to create custom rules that help them trade more efficiently. These rules help traders automate the easy trades, freeing up their time to concentrate on the difficult impactful trades where they can really make a difference. Traders can also use the Rule Builder to generate unique insights into their trading activity. This is a highly complex real-time computation system built on top of Apache Storm and has the ability to merge multiple sources of data, evaluate rules and trigger trading actions and insights in real-time.
