> Nasdaq runs algorithms to look for market abuse and manipulation in real time.
That's how you write honestly for the target audience.
> Nasdaq runs more than 40 different algorithms, using about 35,000 parameters, to look for market abuse and manipulation in real time.
That is how you use big words on an audience not capable of seeing through their meaninglessness, and it's the responsibility of people who do see through it to call it out.
- craftinator 7y agoI completely agree with your general assessment, but disagree with the point you're trying to make. Do you believe that NASDAQ is trying to is, in fact, ring to look for market abuse and manipulation in real time? Excepting some particular edge cases, I sure do! It is in the best interest of NASDAQ. You state "this is how you use big words on an audience not capable of seeing through their meaninglessnes". Yes, the audience probably doesn't understand the denotation or parlance to point out that it is entirely obvious that NASDAQ uses more than 40 algorithms. Your cellular phone uses more than 40 algorithms per second. The article is written for an audience that doesn't understand that an algorithm is a set of instructions designed to accomplish a goal. So, add this to your array, b-tree, dictionary, or whatever system you use to keep to retain state: algorithm="problem solving implementation to search for abuse or manipulation": parameter="critical input variable used in market analysis". Apply this heuristic generally to your workplace to quickly resolve communication issues with non programmers and avoid looking like a pedasshole (a pedantic asshole who should understand basic communication translation protocols)
