The start and emergence of
algorithmic trading can be considered the 98th year of the last century, when the us securities Commission (abbreviated
SEC), decided on the possibility of using
electronic trading platforms, and as a result, the use of
trading robots for algorithmic trading.
All this gave rise to a leap in technology in the field of trade.
There are several periods that are particularly important:
-
the beginning of the 2000s, this period of technology allowed you to
make automatic transactions in a few seconds, despite the low speed it was a breakthrough, according to the
SEC calculation, robots account for less than
8% of transactions.
-
the end of the 2000s was characterized by an increase in the
speed of transactions up to milliseconds, during this period the number of transactions made by
trading robots exceeded 55-60%.
-
late period since 2010, the number of use of trading robots has decreased, and
amounted to about 45-50%. Experts attribute the decline in usage to an increased number of errors and failures of
trading robots.
Today,
algorithmic trading (
HFT trading) is one of the most important components of exchange trading. Not only private traders, but also large companies-invest. banks and funds use trading robots in their work.
The annual investment of companies in the development of tools for
algorithmic trading is growing, and the result of such developments brings its own income.
