The Wall Street Code

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.
