What is algorithmic trading?

Let algorithms handle execution 24/7, so you never miss an opportunity, even when you're away from the screen.

Reduce human error

Trade with precision and consistency by eliminating emotional decisions and manual mistakes.

Test your ideas

Run your strategy in a simulated environment against historical market data to hone your approach before trading with real capital.
