Algorithmic trading is called black-box trading, automated trading, or Algo-trading. It is a method that uses a computer program that follows a defined set of instructions or an algorithm to administer the trading activity. An algorithm is fed into a computer program to perform the trade whenever the command is met automatically. An algorithm can be based on input pointers such as price, quantity, timing, or other metrics. It offers several benefits to market participants, such as it executes trades at the best possible prices, simultaneous automated checks on multiple market conditions, trades timed correctly and instantly, and reduced transaction costs due to lack of human intervention.
Global government bodies are learning ways to control algorithms and implementing regulations to safeguard algorithmic trading. The regulatory Authority (FINRA) requires algorithmic trading developers to register as securities traders to reduce market manipulation. National regulations govern trade surveillance to prevent insider trading, market manipulation, unauthorized disclosure, and attempted manipulation. High frequent occurrences have given rise to worries about the integrity and stability of the market. Increasing market surveillance demands algorithmic trading systems with surveillance capabilities, propelling the market growth.
