The Core Idea

Deep learning relies on representing data across layered feature spaces.

This approach allows systems to identify complex patterns and make predictions with greater accuracy than traditional methods.

Historical Context Began with the Emergence of the First Algorithmic Trading Systems

The operation of algorithmic trading systems is based on several key stages:

1. Data Collection: Gathering information from various sources – financial news portals, trade data, economic indicators, and social media.
