Goldman Sachs trading software leaked
Found a very interesting piece by J.S Kim on a leaked trading software developed by Goldman Sachs.

And possibly also in stock markets, remember the low volume bear market rally as of late?

So, wouldn’t you like that EA? Unfortunately it probably is useless if you aren’t hooked up to COMEX directly and isn’t in possession of the kind of money GS is. But I bet that there are many financial institutions that are interested in getting the software now…
