Algorithmic Trading Strategies

Algorithmic Trading aims to remove the human factor and instead follows pre-determined statistics based strategies that can be run 24/7 by computers with minimal oversight.

Computers can offer multiple advantages over human traders. Firstly, they can stay active all day without sleep. They can also analyse data precisely and respond to changes in miliseconds. In short, they never factor emotions in their decisions. For this, investors have long since realised that machines can make excellent trading given that they are using the correct strategies.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence stand to push Algorithmic tradings to new levels. Not only can more advanced strategies be employed and adapted in real time but also new techniques like Natural Language Processing of news articles can offer even more avenues for getting special insights into market movements.
