Algo Trading - Implementing Your Strategies

Today as on 7th Jan 2019, the day began on a strong note but post lunch market saw indices taking a turn, as profit booking in D-Street. How can one be a profitable trader in this situation and we have been facing this for past couple of years.

Currently 75% of global trade and 30-50% of trade in India are via Algo Trading.

Normal or manual trading, as we know, involves the buying or selling of stocks/shares. An algo trading can be defined as a set of steps or rules which are followed to buy or sell stocks/shares. Algo Trading involves developing and implementing trading strategies using computer codes and programming. A trading strategy is a set of rules which are defined to buy and sell. These trading strategies can be tested on historical data to evaluate their performance. This process is called as Back-testing.

How is Algo Trading different?
The initial analysis, that is, analyzing the signals and charts is almost the same in both, manual trading as well as algo trading. Once the logic and rules are set then the trading decision is made by the machine. This eliminates human error and emotions from the decision-making process thereby reducing the risks involved.

Why You Need Algo Trading?
Speed: Due to the use of computers and technology to implement trades, the execution speed is increased tremendously.

Accuracy: As the process is taken over by the machine, it reduces the human errors and accuracy is increased.

Discipline: Trader’s emotions are eliminated in algo trading as the decision making occurs according to the trading algorithm, bringing in a higher level of discipline in trading.
