Algorithmic trading system: design and applications

This paper provides an overview of research and development in algorithmic trading and discusses key issues involved in the current effort on its improvement, which would be of great value to traders and investors. Some current systems for algorithmic trading are introduced, together with some illustrations of their functionalities. We then present our platform named FiSim and discuss its overall design as well as some experimental results in user strategy comparisons.
