The next generation of trading technology is changing the way investments are made and is benefiting traders rather than replacing them.
Gijsbert de Lange, head of advanced execution services at ABN Amro, said: "Advanced technology has changed the skills of the traders. Before, they would spend all day trading, now they have time to think about algorithms and trading strategies. People aren't bogged down by mundane tasks â it leads to an upgrade of human skills."
