What is algorithmic trading, really?

Algorithmic trading means letting software place and manage trades for you, based on a fixed set of rules — instead of clicking buy and sell by hand. The rules decide when to enter, how big to size, where to place the stop, and when to exit.

The advantage isn't magic — it's consistency. A human gets tired, gets scared after a loss, and gets greedy after a win. Software doesn't. It follows the same plan on the hundredth trade as it did on the first, which is exactly what most traders struggle to do.

That's the whole idea behind Market Master: take strategies that have been tested and tracked, and run them on your own account automatically, with the risk controls built in. You stay in control of your money; the algorithm just handles execution.
