Statistics on bots on Russian stock exchanges

At least, in August 2009, the bots' activity reached 55% in our country, while on the world's largest stock exchanges it averages 42% (a peak value of 48% was reached on the NYSE in June 2009).

The so-called “hyperactive investors” (more than two applications per minute) in August issued more than 55% of applications on the MICEX. In January 2007, this share was 20%, in August 2008 - 30%. The number of robots themselves, which had been about 30 for a long time, reached 70 by August 2009. The range of instruments with which more than one transaction per minute is also expanded has also expanded.

It is logical to assume that this is where the leading edge of scientific and technical developments is and that the highest paid programmers work here. Some futurologists like Ray Kurzweil even suggest that it will be on the stock market that the first real system of Artificial Intelligence will be born. Already now, neural networks and genetic algorithms that simulate the processes occurring in the human brain are being used with might and main.
