Editor's Take

The Wall Street Code profiles the algorithm builders whose code executes trades faster than any human can think, and one insider who dared to challenge the system. A prescient look at how markets became machine-versus-machine.

The Wall Street Code follows Haim Bodek, a gifted algorithm designer who took on the hidden machinery of high-frequency trading. The film explains how automated systems now move markets in fractions of a second and how Bodek came to believe the game was rigged against ordinary participants. It turns the abstract world of quantitative finance into a genuine thriller about one man challenging the code that runs it. It is a sharp look at the algorithms quietly governing modern markets.
