I know technically it is the computer doing trading based on algorithms(I know the definition) but I want to know real examples. 1.) Whether there is one in Pi trading platform? 2.) And whether Amibroker(AFL) or Tradescript are called as Algo trading? 3.) Also what is the difference b/w AFL and tradescript?
AFL and tradescripts both are programming languages of technical analysis, Only difference is AFL is used by amibroker and tradescript is used in Zerodha Pi, AFL is little complex language and Tradescript is very simple.
In Zerodha Pi or amibroker you can generate buy and sell signals based on the given condition,
Algo trading is taking positions/ trading based on the algorithms coded with technical analysis etc.,
Algo trading might be manual, on generated alerts or automated,
Automated trading is automating your algorithm by configuring it to auto place order on buy or sell signals generated from algo.

This is the most common misconception associated with Algorithmic Trading. Algorithmic and Automated trading are not same. You always have an option to automate your Algorithmic strategy but it is not necessary. You can even trade manually through the signals generated through your Algorithmic system. In order to automate your Algorithmic strategy you have to get an exchange approval for your algorithm. But that is not a difficult process until your algorithm is error free.
