Algorithmic Trading

Trading & Execution

The use of computer programs and mathematical models to execute trades automatically based on predetermined rules and conditions. Algorithms can trade much faster than humans and eliminate emotional bias. Common algorithmic strategies include momentum trading, mean reversion, and arbitrage. High-frequency trading is a subset of algorithmic trading that executes thousands of trades per second, though not all algorithmic trading is high-frequency.
