Study Notes

Algorithmic Trading

  • Algorithmic trading executes orders using automated, pre-programmed instructions.
  • Variables accounted for include: Price, Timing, and Volume.
  • Other names: Automated trading, Black-box trading, Algo-trading, and Robotrading.

Types of Algorithmic Trading Strategies

  • Trend Following Strategies seek to capitalize on market trends.
  • Arbitrage Opportunities aim to profit from price differences in different markets.
  • Index Fund Rebalancing involves adjusting portfolio weights to match an index.
  • Mathematical Model-Based Strategies use quantitative models to make trading decisions.
  • Execution Algorithms are designed to minimize transaction costs and market impact.

Advantages of Algorithmic Trading

  • Trades are executed at the best possible prices, timing and speed.
  • It reduces transaction costs.
  • Reduces the possibility of manual errors.
  • It allows for simultaneous automated checks on multiple market conditions.

Disadvantages of Algorithmic Trading

  • System Failure can disrupt trading operations.
  • Technology Lags may result in slower execution speeds.
  • Requires Monitoring to ensure proper functioning.
  • Mechanical Disorder due to hardware or software malfunctions.
  • Unexpected Outcomes arise from unforeseen market events.

Important Terminologies

  • Back Testing: Strategy evaluation using historical data.
  • Latency: Delay between order placement and execution.
