The Results

“For the growing team of quant types now employed at the SEC, MIDAS is

becoming the world’s greatest data sandbox. And the staff is planning to use

it to make the SEC a leader in its use of market data”

Elisse B. Walter, Chairman of the SEC

"This basically propels the SEC from zero to 60 in one fell swoop, going

from being way behind even the most basic market participant to being on par if

not ahead of the vast majority of market participants, in terms of their system and

analytical capabilities’’

Gregg E. Berman, Associate Director of the Office of Analytics and

Research
