The main advantages of Auto Trading Platforms are related to speed, accuracy, and reduced costs. Strategies are predetermined and are executed automatically. The speed at which these trades are made is measured in fractions of a second, faster than humans can perceive. Also, trading with algorithms has the advantage of scanning and executing on multiple indicators at very high speeds. Thus, offering more opportunities and better prices.
Another advantage is accuracy. An order executed on an automated system removes the margin for error that exists on manual trading, i.e. accidentally putting in the wrong trade, to buy the wrong currency pair, or for the wrong amount etc. Similarly, automated trading is saving time. Traders don’t need to spend as much time monitoring the markets, looking for the right opportunity.
Furthermore, one of the biggest advantages of auto trading is the ability to remove human emotion. This is an advantage because emotions such as fear or greed can lead to irrational or spasmodic decisions statistically resulting to an undesirable outcome.
Another important advantage is the ability to back test. Our Auto Trading Platforms have embedded back testing facilities, that allow our traders to view past performance of every available strategy, before adding it to their portfolio.
