Algorithmic trading systems

Abstract

Although many of the world's markets have rebounded since the crash of 2008, it is believed a major correction is overdue. Some even claim that the markets are rigged in favor of those who employ high speed fiber network connections with the exchanges to front run trades. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that the change from open outcry pits to fully electronic exchanges, and the increased use of algorithmic trading systems, requires a new approach to investment decisions.
