What is Programmatic Trading?
Programmatic trading means the trading logic is written as code so it runs the same way every time without a person interpreting it. It overlaps heavily with algorithmic and systematic trading, with the emphasis here on the rules being expressed in a program. Writing logic as code makes it precise and testable, and also makes any mistake in the logic exactly repeatable.
Why Programmatic Trading matters
When logic is code, it is both perfectly consistent and perfectly able to repeat a hidden bug, which is why review matters.
