What is investing in algorithmic trading?

Algorithmic trading is a semi-DeFi product on the Waves blockchain that is driven by the automated market order execution system based on pre-programmed trading commands or specifications.

You can invest in algorithmic trading. The invested funds are accumulated on the Waves blockchain and then proxied into algorithmic trading strategies among few centralized exchanges, like Bitmex, Binance, Okex, etc., part of the invested funds are also used on WX Network.

Investing in algorithmic trading is associated with high profit and therefore, there are some risks. You can learn more about any possible risks in terms of investing in the Algorithmic Trading available on WX Network.

When you invest in algorithmic trading, you can select the risk level of your investment on your own (either Moderate or Aggressive). Based on that selection, you receive a certain type of ALP assets in return. ALP is the assurance asset that proves that your assets are invested in the smart contract

You can withdraw your assets at any time, i.e. exchange your ALP assets to the assets that you originally invested at a new price. Your income is the difference between the ALP price when you invest and the further price fluctuations when your investment is over.

Note: at the moment, algorithmic trading is only available in the web and desktop versions of the WX Network. Algorithmic trading will appear in mobile apps soon.

Frequently asked question

Question: I have invested in algorithmic trading, but the invested assets are not displayed in my account. Why?

Answer: Probably, you did not take the ALP assets that you received in return for the invested funds from the smart contract. To transfer ALP assets to your account, click the Get --- button in the Algorithmic Trading Transactions section.

Question: Why is the Get --- button unavailable?

Answer: You can transfer ALP assets from a smart contract to your account balance after the expiration of the settlement period. The notification about the end of the settlement period shows your local time in a 24-hour format.

Question: I don't receive daily income. Where is it?

Answer: The Algorithmic trading income is not credited to the investor's balance periodically (daily or weekly). The investor receives income once it withdraws invested funds (or part of them) from Algorithmic trading.

The income depends on the price of the ALP asset at the time of investment and the price of the ALP asset at the time of funds withdrawal from Algorithmic trading.

Answer: APY is the annual profitability of a product, calculated on the basis of data for the entire lifetime of Algorithmic trading. It does not depend on the amount of your investment.

Answer: Sometimes, when you hover over the Invest button, you can see the following notice: Beta mode. The investment limit has been used up for today. Please try again after ... (time).
