Automated precision: the heart of algorithmic trading
Algorithmic trading is a way of buying and selling stocks or other financial assets using a computer program. The program follows specific instructions — an algorithm — to make trades automatically, faster and more frequently than a human could, aiming to generate profits.
The instructions are based on factors like timing, asset price, quantity, or mathematical models. Beyond helping traders make money, algorithmic trading makes financial markets work more smoothly by removing the influence of human emotion from trading decisions.
