COORDINATION OF ALGORITHMS IN ALGORITHMIC TRADING ENGINE WITH FAST SWITCHING AND SAFE MODE

摘要

A graphical user interface is used along with an automated algorithm selection function to enable market participants to initiate automated, multi-algorithm trading strategies through a single drag and drop motion. A symbol representing a security can be dragged and dropped onto an icon representing a tactical or strategic algorithm. Other features of the graphical user interface show information such as the progress of the algorithms. Fast switching and safe mode are used to minimize a cost associated with algorithm switching.
