Modern financial markets use advanced mathematical models to arrive at transaction decisions and execute them. Such automated technologies are referred to as highspeed algorithmic trading. These methods determine the optimal time for an order to be placed so as to generate the least impact on stock prices. Large institutional investors use algorithmic trading technologies to buy and sell large blocks of shares in small tranches every day. The use of such technologies allows users to use the best possible pricing without any significant impact on purchasing costs. The automated trading systems are also referred to as algorithmic trading or mechanical trading systems where it allows the trader to establish specific rules for both trade entries and trade exits. They are generally programmed in a way so that they can be automatically executed through computer systems. The entry and exit in the trade is based on the moving average crossovers. Sometimes it also requires the understanding of the programming language that is specific to the user’s trading platform.
