How works a Trading Software

After software makes trading signals, brokers execute orders. Placing orders can be done by software or manually, it depends how you\'ve programmed the software.

So, the process is:

1. You write your rules for software. 2. Software finds matched stocks to your rules and makes trading signals (sell or buy.) 3. Orders executed by broker.
