Introduction


Algorithmic trading has revolutionized the way financial markets operate. With automation, speed, and data at the core, traders can now execute complex strategies with unprecedented efficiency. At Indent Technologies, we help clients harness the power of algorithmic trading to stay ahead in fast-moving markets.


 

What Is Algorithmic Trading?


Algorithmic trading, or algo trading, refers to the use of computer programs and algorithms to execute trades automatically based on pre-defined strategies. These strategies are built using historical data, technical indicators, and statistical models, eliminating human emotion and manual intervention.


 

Benefits of Algorithmic Trading


1. Speed and Precision

Algorithms can execute trades within milliseconds, much faster than manual trading.


2. Elimination of Human Emotion

Trades are executed based on logic and data, reducing emotional decision-making.


3. Backtesting and Optimization

Strategies can be tested on historical data to assess their effectiveness before going live.


4. 24/7 Trading

Particularly useful in crypto markets, algorithms can trade round-the-clock without supervision.


 

Key Components of an Algo Trading System


- Strategy Development

Start with defining clear rules based on indicators, price action, or machine learning models.


- Data Sourcing

Clean and reliable historical and real-time data are essential for accuracy.


- Backtesting Engine

Test strategies on past data to evaluate performance and identify weaknesses.


- Execution Engine

The component that places and manages orders with broker APIs.


- Monitoring & Logging

Live systems need constant tracking, logging, and alerts to ensure smooth operation.
