Automated strategies follow the same trading rules as manual trading, including limits on certain high-frequency and arbitrage-based practices, set out in the firm’s prohibited strategies guide.
“60-80% of US equity volume is already algorithmic. Automation has become the norm across modern markets, not the exception.

Same opportunity. That is why we enabled Expert Advisors and automation across all our platforms,” said Jakub Zeliska, CEO of Upcomers.
