Abstract
Algorithm trading is using computer programs to automate trading actions without much human intervention. Algorithm trading has been adopted by institutional investors and individual investors and made profit in practice. The soul of algorithm trading is the trading strategies, which are built upon technical analysis rules, statistical methods, and machine learning techniques. Big data era is coming, although making use of the big data in algorithm trading is a challenging task, when the treasures buried in the data is dug out and used, there is a huge potential that one can take the lead and make a great profit.
