Algorithmic Trading
Platforms & ToolsUsing a computer program to automatically generate and execute trades based on defined rules, from simple EAs to complex quant models.
Algorithmic trading uses a computer program to automatically generate and execute trading decisions based on a defined set of rules, ranging from simple Expert Advisors to sophisticated quantitative models. It removes emotional decision-making from execution and can react and place orders far faster than a human manually watching a chart.
An algorithm is only as good as the logic and testing behind it — automating a flawed strategy just means the flaws get executed more consistently and at higher speed.
