Algorithmic trading, also known as algo trading, black-box trading or robo trading involves the use of computer programs to identify trading opportunities without human intervention. Being rational, algorithms are not affected by biases, opinions or emotional distress. A digital divide now exists in the capital markets where hedge funds and asset managers accounting for less than 5% of trading accounts, equipped with sophisticated algorithms, generate more than 80% of trading volumes leading to irrational movement in price. The last ten years in particular have become increasingly difficult to invest or trade manually due to such movements.
In an attempt to bridge this divide and level the market, Tickpool provides 'free trade signals' in real-time to intra-day traders. The concept is free as in free beer or free software. You can follow the trades in real-time on Twitter @Tickpool and to learn more, please visit: www.facebook.com/Tickpool
Tickpool provides you with real-time trading signals generated by a proprietary algorithm. Only trade entry signals (Buy or Short sell) are provided here for free as the real algorithm is being actively traded. A is shown every time profit on a trend increases by 50 basis points (0.5%). Please consider position sizing, stop-losses and profit targets of your choice. Contact details of funds deploying this algorithm will be made available soon.
