Start with market data
A systematic process requires consistent inputs. Price, volume and derived market information can form the foundation of trading rules.
Systematic ASX Trading
Turn trading rules into a repeatable process.
Algorithmic trading uses predefined rules and market data to systematise parts of the trading process. Marketdata provides Australian traders with ASX-focused data, screening and analytical tools for developing a more structured approach to the market.

Algorithmic Trading
What is algorithmic trading?
Algorithmic trading is the use of computer-defined instructions to analyse markets or perform trading-related actions according to predetermined rules. Those rules can incorporate factors such as price, volume, technical indicators, timing and risk criteria.
Define the conditions
Convert parts of a trading methodology into explicit conditions that can be evaluated consistently rather than subjectively.
Identify market signals
Rules can be used to identify securities meeting specific market or technical criteria for further assessment.
Reduce the market universe
Systematic screening can help narrow a large ASX universe into a smaller group of potential setups.
Make risk part of the logic
A trading system should consider risk criteria and position controls rather than focusing only on entry signals.
Measure and refine
Systematic approaches can be reviewed against defined criteria so traders can evaluate and refine their process.
Systematic Workflow
From raw market data to a defined trading decision.
Algorithmic trading is not simply about making trades faster. Its core advantage is the ability to translate a methodology into a structured and repeatable sequence of decisions.
01
Market Data
Collect the price, volume and market information required by the strategy.
02
Trading Rules
Evaluate market data against predefined technical or quantitative conditions.
03
Signal
Identify when a security meets the criteria established by the trading methodology.
04
Risk & Action
Apply risk rules and determine what action, if any, should follow the signal.
For Australian Traders
Build systematic thinking into your ASX workflow.
Marketdata research tools
01
Market Screener
Filter the ASX universe using market and company metrics
before deeper analysis.
02
RSI Screener
Use technical momentum conditions as part of a
systematic market-screening process.
03
Market Charts
Investigate price action and technical indicators across
different chart intervals.
Why traders use algorithms
01
Consistency
Apply the same defined conditions to market data rather
than changing criteria from one security to another.
02
Scale
Evaluate more securities and market conditions than a
trader could reasonably inspect manually.
03
Discipline
Defined rules can help separate the analytical process
from impulsive decision-making.
Build a more systematic approach to the Australian market.
Combine ASX market screening, technical indicators, charts and market information in a data-driven environment designed for active traders and investors.
