Algorithmic Finance

Definition

Algorithmic finance involves using computer programs to automate financial operations. These systems apply complex mathematical models and computational strategies to execute trades, manage portfolios, and assess market conditions without direct human intervention. In digital asset markets, this includes automated trading bots, decentralized finance protocols, and smart contract-driven financial instruments. The goal is often to enhance efficiency, reduce latency, and exploit market inefficiencies at speeds impossible for human traders.
