Science-driven automation, built to find signal in noise.

An automated trading firm in Metairie, Louisiana, uniting decades of signal-processing expertise with modern machine learning.

Focus Automated Equities is an automated trading firm headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana. Our team of roughly 30 full- and part-time staff and consultants brings more than two decades of experience across signal processing, very large-scale computing, and automation systems — expertise built on real infrastructure deployed around the world.

That foundation powers a trading system that combines breakthrough digital signal processing techniques with cutting-edge innovations in neural networks to identify patterns in markets and forecast equity price movements.

Before any model reaches live markets, hundreds of its inputs and outputs are put through a rigorous, scientific testing process — discipline is what separates a durable edge from noise.

  • Machine learning at the core

    Neural networks and digital signal processing working together to model market behavior.

  • Distributed, high-performance compute

    High-performance servers, GPU accelerators, and a custom data pipeline at massive scale.

  • Disciplined research method

    Hundreds of model inputs and outputs are tested rigorously before anything goes live.

The Infrastructure

Engineered for scale, speed, and rigor.

Our edge comes as much from engineering as from research — a pipeline purpose-built to move and model enormous volumes of data.

Big-data pipeline

A custom pipeline with computing capacity equivalent to roughly 500 billion pages of text.

GPU acceleration

High-performance servers and GPU accelerators power neural-network training and inference.

Sub-millisecond latency

Co-located low-latency systems at NASDAQ deliver sub-millisecond responsiveness.
