Automated Trading Services Profit trading offers automated execuJon services systemaJcally, as well tradiJonal execuJons. We are able to automate even the most complex execuJon and algorithms for our customers and run complex systemaJc strategies for them. This enables our customers to do trades and run strategies which they previously thought impossible. Of course, we also offer more tradiJonal execuJons such as the matching of pre-‐arranged trades between market counterparJes or the execuJon of individual and basket orders on a discreJonary or pre-‐agreed systemaJc basis. We can also provide our customers with direct market access through our trading infrastructure. This can be done with smart order rouJng algorithms.
Why Algorithms ?
q InsJtuJonal clients need to trade large amounts of stocks . These amounts are oUen larger than what the market can absorb without impacJng the price.
q The demand for a large amount of liquidity will typically affect the cost of the trade in a negaJve fashion (``slippage’’)
q Large orders need to be split into smaller orders which will be executed electronically over the course of minutes, hours, day.
q The procedure for execuJng this order will affect the average cost per share, according to which algorithm is used.
Decreasing the Emo=onal Impact of Trading One of the biggest hurdles a trader has to get over is the emoJonal impact. Most traders will struggle with developing emoJonal control during the first few years of their trading careers, and most don’t even take it into consideraJon how trading will affect them on an emoJonal and psychological level before they even become traders. But it is important to come to terms with the reality that fear and greed (the two biggest emoJonal blocks) will constantly try to affect your ability to make consistently profitable trades. Algorithmic trading is one of the best ways to trade without being blocked by these emoJons. It lets traders set up the parameters based on their original trading plan. This saves traders from nervously sweaJng it out with each trade as they contemplate if they’re making the right trade. Our systems will make the trade, and it does not have any emoJons to keep it from entering a trade due to fear or over trading as a result of greed.
Automated Trading is the way of the Future Automated trading is a strategy, rather a system, which executes orders automaJcally on behalf of traders. It is known by various other names such as black box trading, mechanical trading and algorithmic trading. The purchase and sale of orders can be fully automated by seZng parameters based on price fluctuaJons and technical indicators. It eliminates the emoJonal quoJent from trades and allows traders to concentrate on improving trade strategies and money management rules. These automated trading systems can operate mulJple investment strategies including arbitrage, market-‐making, pure speculaJon or inter-‐market trading with a click of a mouse. They can also be used in diverse markets including Forex, opJons, futures and stocks. The trading system is automated, but it allows human intervenJon. One can operate it on “auto pilot” or choose to control investment and strategy decisions manually with algorithmic trading system support.
