Algo Trading refers to the use of automated systems that execute trades based on predefined rules or algorithms. These algorithms analyze market data, identify opportunities, and place trades without manual input. Traders create or use existing strategies that follow mathematical models, technical indicators, or programmed conditions. Once active, the system operates automatically as long as the trader keeps it running.
In the context of prop trading, algo trading is often regulated more strictly. Many firms allow it, but some require traders to follow specific rules to ensure the algorithm does not violate risk limits.
