This document discusses the opportunities presented by technological advances in financial markets and trading. It notes that companies like OANDA and Olseninvest were pioneers in foreign exchange trading by implementing technologies like second-by-second interest rates calculations and fully automated trading. However, backoffice processes in banking still rely on outdated technologies like 4 day equity settlements. The document argues that regulatory obstacles sometimes hinder financial innovation, but the global financial crisis created opportunities for companies empowering individual traders through technology.
