Growth of Algorithmic Trading
Algorithmic trading is an important and growing trend in financial markets with over 90% of foreign exchange trading volume now executed by algorithms. Industry reports suggest the market size of global algorithmic trading is expected to rise from $11bn in 2019 to $18.8bn in 2024, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 11.1%. In a technology age, we believe that having basic coding skills has increasingly become essential to remain competitive in financial markets.
The algorithmic trading programme is designed to develop individuals of any background into algorithmic traders, where you will be actively building trading systems and custom indicators, before going on to become a funded algorithmic trader for Alphachain.
