The Future of Algo Trading

The Future of Algo Trading

Capital Markets CIO Outlook | Monday, January 21, 2019

One of the reasons why algorithmic trading is so popular is the advantages it has over manual trading. The benefits of algo trading relate to speed, accuracy, and cost reduction. Since algorithms are written in advance and automatically executed, speed is the main advantage. The speed at which these trades are carried out is measured in fractions of a second faster than people can see. A computer executes a trade automatically; the obstacles of accidentally entering the wrong trade associated with human trades could be eliminated.

Traders can find it hard to know what parts of their trading system work and what doesn’t work because they can’t run their system on previous data. With algo trading, consumers can run the algorithms based on data from the past to see if it worked in the past.

According to Credence Research, a market research consulting firm, in 2017, global algorithmic trading software’s market value was at approximately $1.67 billion, indicating the growing faith of investors in such software. On this basis, Credence projected an increase in the market value of software to $26.1 billion by 2026. Algorithmic trading for the stock market by far leads the overall market value segment and is expected to continue its success next year.
