RCM-X, the Trading Technology Subsidiary of Rcm Alternatives, and Social Market Analytics (SMA) Announced a Partnership to Incorporate Sma’s Cryptocurrency Data Feed into the Logic of RCM-X’s Advanced Order Types and Technologies
Alternative data such as social media platforms and feeds have become a vital source of information for traders of all shapes and sizes, particularly in cryptocurrency markets. The SMA Cryptocurrency Sentiment Feed will offer traders a first-of-its-kind tool for including social media sentiment data in their trading strategies and logic, allowing RCM-X advanced automated execution algorithms to anticipate potential market impacts driven by public media platforms.
Back in 2011, the RCM-X team was one of the first groups to write an adaptor to take SMA’s sentiment data into Strategy Studio for US Equities, and the extension into crypto is a natural progression. Over the years, SMA and RCM-X have combined efforts on practicum-based projects with UCLA’s MSFE program in the Anderson School of Business, University of Illinois MSFE program, and Carthage College’s finance programs to research and test the effects of sentiment data on trading strategies and alpha across asset classes, including Bitcoin.

We’re excited to partner with the RCM-X team to offer this service to a wide range of clients through cutting-edge and versatile products like Strategy Studio and their execution algorithms,” said Joe Gits, Co-Founder and CEO of SMA.
