What Are Automated Trading Templates?
Automated trading templates are predefined sets of rules that allow software to execute actions when certain market conditions are met.
They are commonly presented as a convenient way to automate trading decisions.
Key Risks
Predefined templates cannot predict future market conditions.
A strategy that performed well historically may perform differently when:
- market volatility changes;
- liquidity decreases;
- fees increase;
- execution is delayed;
- market behaviour changes.
Backtesting Limitations
Historical simulations may not accurately represent real-world execution.
Backtesting results can be affected by overfitting, data selection, fees, slippage and other factors.
