| Re: What is exactly are program trades? When something happens in the market (sometimes a premium differential between the futures and cash market of SPX, sometimes other things) that was pre-defined in a system, the buy or sell orders are triggered. A lot of fund managers won't use that, though. They usually do things manually. | ||
