OVERVIEW OF ONLINE TRADING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

It is impossible to deny the importance of technology in our modern life. Technology has had a significant impact on almost every aspect of modern life, including but not limited to socializing, commuting, shopping, studying, and everything else. Over the years, the impact of technology has grown to such an extent that even aspects such as investment and the stock market are beginning to feel some impact. The stock market and technological progress are important components of the modern world. Technology has led to fundamental changes in the way financial markets operate, starting with the very first stage of stock formation and continuing to trade those stocks. Technology has undoubtedly radically changed the way investments are made. Financial markets today are largely computerized ‒ from software-based bidding to price determination and direct clearing and settlement, computer technologies have replaced manual operations and simplified functions throughout the value chain in trading. Stock markets around the world are leveraging technological advances for Secure Transaction Management and monitoring. Until a few years ago, brokers shouted at each other for exchanging orders on the stock exchange. However, today's stock exchange trading takes place without physical contact from brokers and provides unlimited opportunities for studying market trends and buying stocks. Thanks to the introduction of technology, the stock market has become more user-friendly, providing faster settlements on transactions, increased transparency, increased security, automated surveillance, and much more. The close relationship between information technologies and financial markets is beyond doubt, as is the relevance of research on the use of various information technologies and innovative solutions to achieve the highest results in financial markets. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze modern information technologies used in securities trading. In particular, attention is focused on: tools for predicting trends in financial markets; technological solutions for improving financial literacy of the population, open access to the securities market regardless of the age category of the user, his professional activity, etc.; advantages and disadvantages of online trading, the specifics of online brokers and their role in trading on financial markets; technical analysis, time series analysis and quantum computing for analyzing trends in financial markets; using information technologies in the derivatives market.
