algorithmic trading
A form of automated trading in which computers execute trade orders based on a series of parameters, such as time, price and volume. One benefit of algorithmic trading is that it allows a company, such as a hedge fund or mutual fund, to break up an order so that the trade does not influence market price. Because computers automatically initiate the orders it is not necessary to have a person review the information.
