Orders

Algorithmic trading can generate a plethora of orders and trades. Much more so than manual trading! Some believe this leads to increase risk exposure; however, increased trading activity with the same risk exposure reduces risk. It sounds complicated, but the reality of it is pretty simple: Here’s an example. You can put all your money in one big bet or place it in several small bets. Each option is expected to generate the same return. Which one would you pick?

In the Volven Trading Platform, you can easily view and manage all your active and historical orders across all exchanges in one format. You can also export all the orders with all their statistics to make tax reporting more straightforward.
