SPOT ALGO ORDERS
Spot Algo orders refer to algorithmic trading orders placed in the spot market of financial assets, such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, or forex. These orders use predefined algorithms to execute trades automatically based on specific criteria. The spot market involves the immediate purchase or sale of an asset at the current market price or a predefined one.
Types of Spot Algo Orders
Common types of algorithmic orders include:
1. Market Orders
Automatically execute at the best available price.
2. Limit Orders
Buy or sell at a specific price or better.
3. Stop-Loss Orders
Trigger a sell when the price drops below a certain level to minimize losses.
4. Take-Profit Orders
Automatically close a position when the price reaches a predefined profit level.
5. Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP)
Executes trades evenly over a set period to reduce market impact.
6. Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP)
Buys or sells based on the average price weighted by trading volume.
7. Iceberg Orders
Splits a large order into smaller visible portions to hide the full order size.
8. Grid Orders
Places multiple buy and sell orders at pre-set price intervals.
9. Trailing Stop Orders
Adjusts the stop price as the market price moves favorably.
Benefits of Spot Algo Orders
