This is an NSERC funded project focused in examining Human Factors issues in automated-trading systems. Trading systems in the finance industry are not designed to support cognitive processes underlying financial decision making. In this study, we explore how to present information from trading algorithms to traders for better decision making. We looked at differences between trading in manual and automated environments. We also explored the impact of interruptions on trading behavior. We built a generic scaled-world simulation of the task of financial trading to gain new insights about cognitive processes underlying financial decision making through experimental studies with human participants. Cognitive Work Analysis on financial trading and Ecological Interface Design methods informed interventions for the financial trading domain.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
