The Shake is a proprietary market-making algorithm designed to take advantage of price movements within a pre-determined range. Here is how the Shake algorithm works:
Bids and offers are automatically placed at custom price intervals; these are called “Stack Orders.”
Once a Stack Order is filled, covering orders are instantly placed at a specific profit target; these are called “Profit Orders.”
**Once, a Profit Order is filled, the original Stack Order is replenished. **
This process repeats until, the Shake is stopped by the trader or until the Shake breaks the pre-defined range, triggering a stop. 0 q5 z: ~9 R1 @4 [0 A$ l0 e
这个过程一直重复,直到该摇算法由交易员手动停止或者直至摇摆单打破了事先规定的明确的价格范围。
该算法已经被很多个人的美股自动化交易程序采用,是一种流行的美股自动化交易算法。
交易员个人可以设置不同的“摇摆单”配置,然后把它们保存到相应的自动化交易程序的热键里。
利用“摇摆单”的速度频率优势,个人交易员还可以用它来测试暗盘和机构电子单。
