Automated trading – also known as algorithmic trading – is the use of algorithms for making trade orders.
If you want to set up automated trading, you will need an automated trading system. You can then set up the rules that you want the automated trading system to follow, based on common variables like price and volume or on technical indicators like moving averages or Bollinger bands. The trading strategy you set up can be as simple or as complicated as you want, but truly advanced strategies can require learning the programming language associated with your automated trading system.
