AI for Algorithmic Trading
Use artificial intelligence to improve algorithmic trading speed and accuracy, and increase portfolio returns for your clients
Learn how you can use AI for algorithmic trading to automate the process of keeping up with second-by-second market moves in securities, treasuries, futures, and other investment vehicles. The world of high-frequency trading demands real-time decision-making and split-second transaction capabilities that only artificial intelligence can deliver.
What is algorithmic trading?
Algorithmic trading uses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automatically and accurately extract real-time investment insights from vast quantities of trade and market movement data.
Maximizing returns for institutional investors
Balancing risk and return in hedge fund management
Benefiting from currency fluctuations in international fintech
How does AI enable algorithmic trading?
AI-enabled algorithmic trading—whether in securities, commodities/futures, currency, or more arcane derivative investment vehicles—is a critical contributor to successful portfolio management, particularly in an investment landscape characterized by millions of second-by-second transactions and instantly-changing external factors.
Not only can AI-based trading solutions deliver the speed and accuracy your portfolio needs by taking into account all of these factors, AI-driven trading solutions are also fully autonomous, completing transactions without human intervention (or possible errors) as externalities change, positioning you to maximize the returns your clients demand. And, while AI solutions automate the previously manual legwork of trading analysis, the professional trader is nevertheless in charge at all times with fully explainable AI. The accuracy and productivity delivered by AI-based algorithmic trading solutions offer early adopters a significant advantage over their competitors.
Execute faster, more accurate transactions in a millisecond-by-millisecond trading world

Base investment decisions on real-time transaction data, without the potential for human error
Traditional investment approaches rely on labor-intensive deep dives into historical price data and market factors, followed by endless spreadsheet work and mathematical modeling. AI-powered algorithmic trading, by contrast, incorporates data from millions of transactions, delivering results with no labor-intensive processes at all.
