Algorithmic Trading Certificate (ATC): A Practitioner’s Guide Self Study Pack (coming soon)
Introduction:
Algorithmic trading, a broad term for trading which uses mathematical models and algorithms, has become widespread and many markets are now dominated by high-frequency market-makers and proprietary trading shops. Some quant hedge funds have always relied on algorithms, while others have employed algorithms as part of their approach. Algorithms can be used for all aspects of the business, from trade decisions to portfolio allocations to placing market and limit orders with the time horizons involved being anywhere from a nanosecond to many days.
The aim is to use a scientific approach to develop efficient, scalable models with consistent and
testable performance.
