You log in, watch the market, and place orders yourself. They are designed around a human decision-making workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trade API is designed for automated trading. Instead of you deciding when to click Buy or Sell, your code makes that decision based on rules or signals you have defined in advance. The API then carries out those instructions automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This difference matters in two practical ways. First, a well-written algorithm can react to price changes in milliseconds, something no manual trader can consistently do. Second, consistency your system follows your rules exactly, without hesitation or second-guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The API also opens up possibilities that a standard trading interface does not support like running multiple strategies across different instruments at the same time, feeding market data into your own analytics tools, or building a custom front-end for your trading operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"ht_kb_category":[2895],"ht_kb_tag":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26851"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ht_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/65"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26851"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26853,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb\/26851\/revisions\/26853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_category?post=26851"},{"taxonomy":"ht_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samco.in\/help-support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ht_kb_tag?post=26851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
