Order Execution Logic
Order execution logic comprises the programmed rules and strategies that determine how and when a trading algorithm sends orders to an exchange. This includes decisions on order type, such as limit or market orders, and the timing of execution based on market signals.
The logic must account for variables like slippage, liquidity availability, and the risk of adverse selection. By optimizing this logic, traders aim to minimize costs and maximize the likelihood of filling their orders at the best possible prices.
It is the decision-making core of any automated trading system, directly influencing the performance and profitability of the strategy in live market conditions.
