Introduction to Algorithmic Trading
Algorithmic trading, commonly known as algo trading, involves using computer programs to execute trades automatically based on predefined criteria such as timing, price, or volume. This method leverages mathematical models and statistical analyses to make high-speed, data-driven trading decisions, reducing human error and emotional influence.
Key Benefits of Algorithmic Trading:
Speed and Efficiency: Algorithms can process market data and execute orders faster than any human, capitalizing on fleeting opportunities.
Elimination of Emotion: Automated strategies adhere strictly to predefined rules, minimizing the impact of psychological biases.
