3 Myths About Algo Trading – Explained Simply

In this video, we break down 3 common myths about algorithmic trading that often stop beginners from getting started:

1️⃣ “Algo trading is rocket science.”
Some of the most effective strategies are based on simple concepts like averages and volatility.
Yes, learning to code, understand stats, and build systems can help. But most successful traders start small, build on what they know, and slowly add new skills over time.

2️⃣ “Retail traders can’t compete with big HFT firms.”
High-frequency traders aren’t your competitors. They compete among themselves, and their presence often helps retail traders with better pricing and lower spreads.

3️⃣ “Big institutions leave no opportunities for retail.”
Large firms don’t chase every inefficiency—especially small or unscalable ones. This opens the door for smart, nimble traders to find an edge.
