Trading algorithms are sets of trading instructions installed on a platform with the purpose of monitoring the market for specific conditions.

When pre-set parameters are met, trades are executed automatically, with orders being sent directly to your broker’s trade server.

Thus, an algorithmic trading strategy places orders without the need for you to trade manually.

Merits of Algorithm Trading?

As any trader will tell you, there are many advantages to algorithmic trading.

Firstly, trading with the use of algorithmic strategies naturally reduces the time you spend monitoring the market, waiting for that perfect trading opportunity to place your order.

This is because your algorithms will identify good opportunities and execute trades on your behalf, without requiring any manual input.

Equally important is the fact that algorithmic trading may minimize mistakes and increase the accuracy of your trades, as all calculations are carried out by algorithms.

In addition, algorithmic trading reduces the stress and anxiety associated with manual trading as it is less prone to mistakes and prevents you from placing orders on impulse when the market moves in an unfavorable direction.
