Simpler Algorithmic Trading

Algorithmic trading allows for faster and easier ex*****on of orders, making it attractive for exchanges. In turn, this means that traders and investors can quickly book profits off small changes in price. The scalping trading strategy commonly employs algorithms because it involves rapid buying and selling of securities at small price increments.

The speed of order ex*****on, an advantage in ordinary circumstances, can become a problem when several orders are executed simultaneously without human intervention.
