What is automated trading?
Also called auto-execution.
Automated trading is when orders are placed automatically by software rather than clicked by a person, subject to whatever limits you set.
Automation removes the manual step between a decision and an order. The trade-off is control, so responsible automated trading is bounded: position-size caps, daily limits, and a clear consent step before it is switched on.
Candella's automated mode is opt-in per follower, with a typed acknowledgment, per-position and per-day caps, and a risk disclosure. Until you turn it on, every copied trade waits for your manual approval.
