DESCRIPTION:
The PGPAT course or Post graduate program in Algorithmic trading online conducted by the IIQF
is taught by highly qualified and experienced market practitioners and is a job-oriented Masters in Algorithm Trading online course that aims to produce industry-ready Algo-Traders, who can join trading desks of various financial institutions or setup their own independent algorithmic prop trading desks. We do offer Certificate Program in Algorithmic Trading (CPAT) online with world class faculties.
The Financial Markets the world over have seen a major paradigm shift in how trading is done. Algorithmic Trading (abv. Algo Trading) also known as Program Trading or Automated Trading, essentially implies that the trading is done by computer programs. Currently a vast majority of the trades in some of the markets are algorithmic in nature.
These algorithms depend on quantitative finance techniques for formulating trading strategies, detection of profitable trade opportunities, generating trade signals, generating the trades and trade order execution. At each stage there is extensive use of technologies.
Algorithm Trading, both High-Frequency as well as Low Frequency, using Quantitative Methods is now a very lucrative career. A breed of traders known as the Algo-Traders or Quant-Traders has emerged who have certain skill-sets that are much sought after in the industry.
