- How to create your first trading algorithm, even if you don’t know how to code?
- How to test your trading algorithm’s performance to know it will be profitable before you even invest a single dollar?
- The most important trading algorithms and trading indicators you need to get started
- How to fully automate your trades, so your trading will happen automatically (even while you sleep)
What is Algo Trading?
Algorithmic trading uses a computer program that follows a defined set of instructions (an algorithm) to place a trade. The trade, in theory, can generate profits at a speed and frequency that is impossible for a human trader.
The defined sets of instructions are based on timing, price, quantity, or any mathematical model. Apart from profit opportunities for the trader, algo-trading renders markets more liquid and trading more systematic by ruling out the impact of human emotions on trading activities.
