Why algo trading

Why trade with an algo

An algo does not find you a better strategy. What it does is follow your rules exactly, every time, so the results you get are the results of your rules, and not of a tired, rushed or nervous moment.

What an algo does better than a person

No hesitation

It takes the entry your rules call for, and the stop-loss too, without fear, hope or second thoughts.

On time

Orders go out as soon as a rule is met. Every leg of a multi-leg position is sent together, not one by one.

Every day the same

The same rules run on busy days, slow days and the days you are travelling or at work.

Watches it all

Prices, levels and time limits are checked all session long, across every strike and index your rules use.

Tested first

Rules a computer follows can be replayed over years of past market data before any money is at risk. A gut feeling cannot.

A record of everything

Every order and every exit is logged with the rule that caused it, so you can see exactly what happened and why.

Manual mistakes it takes away

  • Entering late because you were away from the screen
  • Moving or skipping a stop-loss in the hope the price comes back
  • Taking an extra trade after a loss to win it back
  • Exiting a trade early out of nervousness
  • Forgetting to exit before your cut-off time
  • Wrong strikes or quantities typed in a fast market

What an algo cannot do

  • Turn a losing strategy into a winning one
  • Remove the risk of loss: losing days still happen
  • Promise any returns
  • Run with nobody looking after it: brokers, exchanges and markets change
  • Prevent every technical problem, such as a broker outage
