What is algorithmic trading?
Also referred as automated trading or systematic trading, algorithmic trading is a trading system that relies on instructions coded into a computer to predict movements in financial markets and place trades on its own. An automated trading system follows the market to monitor trends on the basis of different technical indicators, statistics based on market feeds, fundamental information of companies and streaming news data. Some of these programs are designed to try and have a good win ratio in order to return stable profits. Other systems may focus on a smaller win ratio but rely on greater size of winning profits. Algorithmic trading can be employed by hedge funds, prop trading firms, retail and institutional traders as well as any other fund management institutions.

These systems are equipped to handle the changing market prices and can be designed to work differently under different market conditions.
