What is automated trading and what are the benefits?

What is automated trading? Automated trading is a method of participating in financial markets by using a programme that executes pre-set rules for entering and exiting trades. As the trader, you’ll combine thorough technical analysis with setting parameters for your positions, such as orders to open, trailing stops and guaranteed stops. Your trades are then managed from start to finish, meaning you could spend less time monitoring your positions.
