ABSTRACT
This work proposes a new automated trading system (ATS) architecture that supports multiple strategies for multiple market conditions through hierarchical trading signals generation employing h-signals, which are trading signals that are generated using other trading signals. The central idea of the proposed system architecture is to decompose the trading problem into a set of tasks handled by distributed autonomous agents under a minimal central coordination. We implemented the proposed ATS using a software architecture that employed a publish/subscribe communication model. In the current stage of development, we are able to run our ATS in back-test mode with moving-average crossover strategies on minute-by-minute market databases. We achieved very satisfactory performance results, processing 306.791 database rows representing more than two years of data in only 47 seconds.
