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 a case specific study, we are exploring design problems in an existing automated-trading system to propose alternative visualizations and designs for more effective interaction between the trader and the automated-trading software. We are also building 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 would inform interventions for the financial trading domain.
