Article Summary

1)How Algorithmic Trading Combines Market Noise and Trend Trading

Noise refers to the random data that is produced and occurs within the market and the traders. As noise traders act on random information, these traders tend to buy and sell shares based on fear or greed and can cause the price of a stock to drop, or rise, without any fundamental justification. In comparison, trend trading, just as it sounds, is trading based on a stock’s momentum in one direction, either increasing or decreasing. Trend traders use fundamental data and different indicators to determine whether a trend will continue or not. Algorithms are complex mathematical formulas designed so that they can automatically monitor market behavior, and in many cases can automatically buy and sell stocks at the best price without human emotion or error. The unique algorithm that I Know First has developed is a genetic algorithm that takes in 15 years’ worth of historical data and can then forecast what the market will do in the future. In this particular instance, algorithmic trading not only builds off of trend trading but quantitatively separates the trend from the noise and uses the noise to the traders’ advantage. Read more.
