Abstract
This thesis describes the design and implementation of VizStudio, a visualization tool developed to aid research into the psychology of trading. Developing VizStudio involved overcoming many challenges. A rigorous study into the psychology and emotion of trading involves capturing many sources of data, including records on trader physiology and performance, market movements, and video input to name a few. Moreover, new sources of data may be recorded, and additional data maybe derived from existing data. VizStudio is designed not only to integrate multiple sources of data into a single display, but to be easily extensible so as to accommodate the addition of new sources and types of data. In addition, VizStudio is required to process many sources and often large volumes of data. Thus, it is efficient in both computation and memory usage. Lastly, VizStudio applies principles of sound graphical user interface design to allow researchers to easily navigate through its features and menus, increasing its usability and overall value.
