High Frequency Trading, FMCW transmission, with Morse ID CGR482 , 23 November, 2024, 1724 UTC

I wonder if there are any documented examples of corporate espionage via jamming these radio links. Somehow I doubt it, but it's fun to think about as a concept.

This signal belongs to the high frequency trading firm DRW. Their US signals are licensed under Skycast Services LLC, and their wireless infrastructure team works out of Montreal. Do you see similarities to the Canadian Meteor Orbit Radar signal--I believe developed at Western Univ of London, Ontario, CA? BTW, the other trading shortwave signals that you analyzed a few years back belong to Raft Technologies, who licenses its transmitters under 3DB LLC. Have you analyzed the Parable Broadcasting signal, which is transmitted out of Batavia, Illinois? That, too, is a shortwave trading platform. I think you'll find it interesting. Strong signal. Trained on the EU. You should receive it well out there, as you're nearly on path (off the back end of the antenna). I can point you to it.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I so see some similarities between this signal and the CMOR. Not sure which one you mean by one I looked at a few years back, do you mean the one that is MFSK looking? As for the Parable Broadcasting signal, I may have seen it, but typically I do not know what company has what signal, so while I may have seen it I probably did not know who the source was.

[@Timesniper]

@@FirstToken Yes, the MFSK looking signal. I can send you a digital file of the Parable signal. It comes up when the EU markets open (~2 am CST) and shuts down about an hour before the CME closes at 4 CST. It primarily operates over a 40 khz channel bandwidth; sometimes they narrow to 20 when conditions are challenging across the path to Europe.

[@FirstToken]

@@Timesniper Ahhh, thanks for that information. I have literally hundreds of recordings of that signal that I have taken over the years. Yes, I have seen the 40 kHz wide version, but I also have recordings of various modes all the way down to about a 2.6 kHz wide version. I keep meaning to do a better video, more complete, the several I did do that include that signal are just snippets to get the signal online.

Is this what you mean by HFT signals? Your saying they use HF radio to transmit the data? High frequency trading signals mean quickly buying and selling stocks using advanced tools and algorithms. This allows traders to make the most of tiny price changes and time their trades perfectly. These signals come from trading firms and hedge funds.May 26, 2024

HFT is, as you say, quickly making decisions to buy / sell. The firm or algorithm that sees the trend first makes the most money. Radio links for data and decisions are faster than cable or fiber links. Various firms have used this fact to leverage a speed advantage in noticing trends. Yes, some companies are working on using HF radio to provide the lowest possible latency in decision making. This callsign is apparently associated with one of those companies.
