Automated Trading Systems provide you with the unparalleled flexibility of having trades placed on your behalf any day and time within the 24-hour cycle. In essence, you’re able to seamlessly take multiple trades in a time span of milliseconds without having to be glued to your trading monitors and terminals. For forex junkies, consider the great benefits of being able to fully participate in the market whilst you’re catching some catching some 40 winks.

Automated Trading Systems also facilitate the execution of various strategies/models and/or the trading of multiple accounts simultaneously. This permits risk spread over multiple financial instruments whilst facilitating arbitrage/hedges against less profitable positions. Consider the great prospects for high frequency traders capable of assuming multiple positions in the market over several trading accounts via the agency of uber sophisticated trading algorithms within lightning speeds!

Automated Trading Systems are devoid of emotional trading triggers and strategies. All trade orders are thus executed on a 100% rational strategy and you can be very sure your bespoke automated trading strategy will not be afraid to “pull the trigger” when necessary to maximize your odds of profitability

The prevalent advantage of automated trading systems is speed. Human reaction times to trades in the market (typically within seconds or sometimes minutes) is inferior to the milli- and sometimes microsecond scale of actions for automated trading systems. Essentially over both the short and long term, automated trading systems are vastly superior compared to human agents in the duration and frequency of entering and exiting multiple positions in the market.

Thanks to machine learning, viable and profitable algorithmic trading models trained on millions (or billions) of historical data points can be built. On the contrary, most human trading agents do not trade based on tested and trained models and mostly perform mediocre analyses and projections on typically less comprehensive historical data. A machine learning developed, automated training model is much more superior given its unique ability to analyze myriads of historical data and make more viable and profitable trade actions based on data in real time.
