Packets of Strategies

Algorithmic trading models can be thought of as "packets of strategies," individually conceived and customized to help the trader execute trading tactics with the flexibility to revise strategies swiftly or implement new ones on the fly. They allow both the sell-side and buy-side to take on a greater volume of trades with more efficiency and less chance of error.

Algorithmic trading may be used in any investment strategy, including market making, inter-market spreading, arbitrage, or pure speculation (including trend following). The investment decision and implementation may be augmented at any stage with algorithmic support or may operate completely automatically.
