Algorithmic Trading Strategies and Market Research

Here we distinguish between the algorithmic market research and algorithmic trading.

While  we determine algorithmic trading as a predefining set of rules in a process of buying or selling any financial instrument, our algorithmic market research mainly stands for implementing algorithms in the process of gaining  knowledge of trading activities and positions, executed across specific financial markets. The correct analyses and interpretation of this data are essential fundamentals for understanding value and any future market move.

It is the most common misconception associated with algorithmic trading, that it has to be automated. However, algorithmic and automated trading are not the same. There is always an option to automate any algorithmic trading strategy, but this is not mandatory.
