Active strategy in relation to algorithmic trading refers to a type of investment or trading approach that uses algorithms to make regular, data-driven decisions about buying and selling assets. This approach is designed to generate higher returns and outperform passive investment strategies.
Active strategies in algorithmic trading differ from passive strategies, which simply follow the market and hold assets for the long-term, in that they actively seek to generate higher returns through regular buying and selling of assets. This can involve taking advantage of short-term market movements, or making trades based on a variety of market indicators and economic data.
