Algorithmic Trading System (ATS)

An Algorithmic Trading System (ATS) is a computer-based platform that uses predefined rules and algorithms to automatically buy and sell financial assets like stocks or currencies. It analyzes market data rapidly, identifies trading opportunities, and executes trades without human intervention. ATSs improve trading efficiency, speed, and accuracy, often making decisions based on complex mathematical models. They are widely used by institutions and professional traders to capitalize on market movements, reduce emotional bias, and optimize trading strategies.
