What will trading technology look like in 50 years? Read a time traveler’s report from the year 2069, then have your say in a public poll.

Thirteen of IG’s financial writers and analysts took a survey in which they submitted predictions describing what trading technology might look like in 2069.

In the first instance, respondents were asked to give their general assessments of possible developments in trading technology over the next 50 years. They then submitted additional predictions regarding potential developments in six more specific categories: emerging technologies (e.g. blockchain and quantum computing), alerts and signals, risk management tools, platform technology, trading accessibility, and other enhancements.

Our writers and analysts voted for the predictions which they thought were the most plausible based on their in-depth industry knowledge, with the most popular ideas being written up as articles.
