Algorithmic trading now dominates the derivative, equity, and foreign exchange trading markets. These trading strategies can be complex, but the essentials are straightforward: program a set of rules that takes market data as input and apply basic models (10 -day moving average) to generate an automated trade workflow. Over the years, these strategies have moved beyond simple time-series momentum and mean revision models to more exotic name strategies like snipes, slicers, and boxers. Evolved over decades, algorithm trading has replaced much of the manual trade order flow with faster static rules-based strategies. What was once cutting edge is now an inherent disadvantage.
