A Modern Paradigm for Algorithmic Trading

We introduce a novel framework for developing fully-automated trading model algorithms. Unlike the traditional approach, which is grounded in analytical complexity favored by most quantitative analysts, we propose a paradigm shift that embraces real-world complexity. This approach leverages key concepts relating to self-organization, emergence, complex systems theory, scaling laws, and utilizes an event-based reframing of time. In closing, we describe an example algorithm that incorporates the outlined elements, called the Delta Engine.
