Algorithmic Trading vs. S&P 500 FTSE 100 OMX Stockholm 30 Index

<p>Substantial development of information technologies (IT) stimulated the beginning of electronic revolution which allowed market participants to use all the accessible market services without the need of physical presence in exchanges centers. For relatively short period of time IT led to dramatically increased automation of order-execution process.From the end of 1990s the electronification of market orders' execution made it possible to transmit orders electronically but not by telephone mail or in person as it was before that and as a result the biggest part of trading on modern world financial markets is implementing by internet and computer systems (Chlistalla 2011). This fact obviouslymade it possible to use different trading algorithms widely in everyday trading practice.</p><p><br></p>
