Get the First Mover AdvantageMarket participants compete with each other on the strength of their algorithmic trading strategies, among other pieces of the total trading puzzle. There are four basic frontiers of algorithmic trading competition:
Customization is King. Because markets are continually evolving, with new opportunities emerging, you need first mover advantage to develop new strategies first. Rapid customization is critical when an algorithm’s lifespan can be just three months and the market is awash in commoditized logic. |
When it comes to milliseconds, or even microseconds, the last few years have shown that algorithmic trading competition among market participants is not just a race – getting equipped for the race has turned into a war, which is where high frequency trading comes in. In the low latency arms race we live in today, the speed/latency advantage is the second key driver for algorithmic trading. We have to admit that the first one to the trade wins the best price and the rest have left money on the table.
And finally, as various methods of electronic trading have migrated from the historical base of US & European equities to other asset classes and emerging markets, cross-asset and cross-geography competition has started to heat up.
