What is Algorithmic Trading?

Algorithmic trading, also known as algo trading or black box trading, is a method of executing trades using pre-programmed instructions and strategies. These algorithms are designed to automatically monitor market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and execute orders based on predefined rules and parameters.

Algo trading systems leverage advanced mathematical models, machine learning techniques, and complex data analysis to make split-second decisions and execute trades at lightning-fast speeds. This approach eliminates the emotional and psychological factors that can influence human decision-making, resulting in more consistent and disciplined trading strategies.
