Maybe this is not a forum, but I just found it and it looks very promising in terms of resources: http://www.automatedtrader.net/
This seems very good, even though it only has 200 active users out of 10137 users: http://www.smartquant.com/forums/
Travis, Should we differentiate between algorithmic trading as perceived by the brokerage industry and automated trading as perceived by traders? I think there is a lot of confusion in this area. Algorithms as far as brokerages and ECNs are efficient or optimum ways of looking for liquidity, building up a book and executing customersâ orders. An algorithm in the context of profitable trading is something different. There may be some overlap in the context of very high frequency scalping in the sense that the traders algorithm may look in some ways similar to brokerage algorithm but from a broad perspective algorithmic trading and automated trading are different concepts. Your ideas are welcome.
Well, thanks for explaining it. I was getting really puzzled by these similar terms meaning different things. On the link I provided above there are indeed interesting things for us, but that are not related to the section of this forum or to "automated trading" as we mean it. In fact, also if you type on wikipedia "automated trading" it takes you to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_trading which is the same as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algo_trading So I will be aware from now on that even by "automated trading" some people mean one thing, and other people mean a different thing. Thank you.
