Creating algorithmic trading programs isn’t as hard as you may think. In fact, if given the right help and guidance, it can be easy.
The best part about an algorithm is that it once it is complete, it basically runs itself. If you enjoy working with data and numbers, finding solutions and improving systems, you can use your skillset to check and adapt the algorithms to suit your needs.
Here’s some of the reasons people turn to algorithmic trading systems over manual trading:
- Automated – Saves time looking at charts or finding trades
- Disciplined – The computer does the same designed action over and over
- Testable – Can be tested easily to determine validity
- Scalable – Provides a place to put money where you have control
- Leveraged – CFDs allow leveraged trading, meaning it requires less money to put on a position than without using leverage.
Why Become an Algorithmic Trader?
Algorithmic trading is the method of using a computer to run a program which is designed to scout the market non stop, even while you sleep, enjoy your day or keep earning money doing the things you love. People turn to algorithmic trading for a number of reasons, here’s a few to consider:
- It saves time once the ground work is complete
- It takes the pressure of actually trading, watching the markets and watching trades play out. Simply set and forget.
- It can be improved upon and added to over time
- It offers a place to aim for higher targets while maintaining control over your money – deposit and withdraw as you please, no complex corporate rules that only benefit the top dogs and no dodgy get rich quick schemes.
- It can be set to very low risk, medium risk or high risk as you choose – but sticking with low risk is ideal, let time do the heavy lifting
- The account is basically a cash account, meaning it is easy to withdraw from if you need the money, unlike property, term deposits and other investments. You can even keep a trade running and withdraw what isn’t needed in the account to hold that position.
- It can provide a method of investment that you can trust and own all for yourself
- It has data and history that you can work with and determine where the best value is
- It is an incredible feeling opening up your trading platform and it has done well overnight.
- No need to sell to anyone, trust in someone else giving you something or paying for services. Take full control and remove reliance on others.
- The markets keep running, even when times are tough and jobs are hard to come by.
How Does Algorithmic Trading Work?
Algorithmic trading is a way of placing orders into the market, based on a set of rules coded into the trading platform. To put it simply and provide a full outline of the process, this section shows the steps involved in setting up an algorithmic trading portfolio.
The algorithm, code or program – this is where the trading strategy or plan is stored. Everything from when to enter, exit and how much money to use is stored here.
The trading platform – this is where the algorithm is placed and where it interacts with the market.
The broker – the broker gives you a platform as part of their service offering, along with access to financial markets.
You – Using the trading platform given to you by the broker, you place the algorithm into the program and it can then trade the financial markets for you automatically.
What do I need as an Algorithmic Trader?
As an algorithmic trader, you need a few things to get started.
First, you will need a computer or laptop, or at least have access to one.
Then you will need the algorithm. This is simply a file you can drag and drop into place and it will trade for you. The magic comes from what is written inside the program.
Finally, you need a broker account who also provides the platform which is called MetaTrader 5 or MT5.
There is an optional step, which is a VPS or Virtual Private Server which is basically a remote computer that operates 24 hours a day, running your platform and code non stop. Alternatively, you need to run your computer when the markets are open, which is 24 hours a day on weekdays (closed for weekends).

Who is the Algorithmic Trading Course Suited for?
The algorithmic trading course is suitable for anyone that has an interest in letting their computer do work for them. So many people have become a slave to their device, but computers were made to make our lives easier. Now that so many things are digital, it means computers can tap into methods of working and doing productive activities for us.
Here’s a few examples of people that make it work and get insane value from this course:
- Working parents already capped out with their time schedule, and in need of a place they can put their funds that will benefit them, that they can trust and ultimately control themselves.
- A young guy eager to learn and develop a skill, continue their stable career and gain an opportunity to test and assess a portfolio to allocate to when they start making real money.
- Retirees looking for something enjoyable and rewarding, where their non laborious efforts and mental strengths can be developed and continued well into their future.
- Busy people that don’t have time to sit and assess their investments often, and simply want an easy, simple set and forget model to set up and allocate excess capital towards.
So, if you can drag and drop, type and navigate the basics of a computer and have a desire to have somewhere to put funds that you can trust, this course may be just what you’ve been waiting for.
Do you get personalized help in the course?
The course has a series of lessons for you to access, however if you are more of a one on one learner, or want additional help and direction, this course is perfect for you.
We will do our best to support your needs and help you get up and running, so that you can continue your development as an algorithmic trader.
There are many concepts that you may come across that could be quite an easy fix for someone experienced, but could take you hours, days or even months to work out on your own. Global Finance Trading are happy to assist you and help you bypass those lost hours, days and months by offering solutions and training on your particular needs, such as fixing errors, understanding basic concepts around the platforms, markets and how it all fits together, and also building out, assessing and improving an algorithmic portfolio long term.
What costs are involved?
The course itself is free (but get in while it’s still new, because it won’t be free forever!).
If you don’t have a computer, you’ll need one, which could be anywhere from $600 and up.
A good VPS is around $35 a month, but this isn’t necessary unless your ready to run your algorithms. You can absolutely test them and play around with the program on a computer. You can also run the algorithms on a computer without using a VPS too.
To trade real money, you need an account with a broker. The broker gives you access to the markets and the platform. Generally, the minimum deposit is around $200. There is the option to use a demo account at first, to test it all out and see how it functions without having money on the table.
This means that if you already have a computer and internet access, it won’t cost you anything to simply get in, try it out and run some algorithms on a demo account.
The cost is therefor $0, but for those wanting to make the most of the program, a real account would be far more rewarding (but that’s completely up to you).

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What are the costs?
The course is free, must haves are a computer and internet.
How long does it take to get set up and running?
You could be set up within a few hours, with a working algorithm.
How long is the course?
The course offers a suite of lessons to help you get set up, learn and adapt your algorithms and provides ideas on how to improve and grow your algorithmic portfolio. The course is self paced and is gaining ongoing updates and support. Take your time, but you won’t run out of content any time soon.
Do I need any skills to start?
You need to be able to use the basics of a computer, like drag and drop, typing in the right areas, downloading a program and those kinds of things. You don’t need to know how to code or anything complex to start.
Is this a get rich quick scheme?
No, get rich quick schemes don’t work, so don’t be fooled. This program takes time and effort, but can also be an easy gateway into getting something simple set up. In saying this, it is not something that will make you wealthy in a short period of time. It is probably far easier to be patient with something that works in the background (like the algorithms we teach you about), than something you have to physically take action on over and over.
What happens once an algorithm is placed on the trading platform?
Provided the computer or VPS is running and is connected to internet, the program will continue to run until you stop it. It is ideal to check that the program is still running from time to time, and you will most likely be excited to see how the algorithm performs every now and then. You can check trades on a mobile device and even adjust or close your trades from a mobile too.
This is why we take time to ensure the algorithm is well thought out and takes into account a range of market conditions and situations that can occur, so that there is peace of mind in letting the algorithm run long term without intervention.
