Abstract

As with any software system development project, the trading strategy generated by technical analysis, has its life cycle. Some only last for a few months, or even only a few days or hours, after when the trading strategy becomes ineffective. We propose a Visualised Algorithmic Trading System (VATS) for designing trading strategies. It provides a visually based tool that allows traders using simple Drag & Draw methods to convert the idea of trading strategy to the program that is ready for execution. At the end of the life cycle of trading strategies, they can easily be modified, updated or deleted. This will enable trading strategies adapt to the rapidly changing market and allow traders generate more profit. This paper presents our experience from the design of VATS and the implications for the design of integrating software engineering technologies in financial applications.
