Algotraders

Algotraders is a research stream on how retail investors respond to market interfaces, order-flow information, and hybrid trading environments. It connects behavioural finance questions with experimental design, platform architecture, and the microfoundations of investor decision-making.

The project combines online and laboratory experiments with custom-built trading environments. The goal is to identify how data presentation, interface features, and feedback loops shape risk-taking, attention, and strategic behaviour.

Current themes include:

• retail investor use of order-flow and execution data;
• gamification and interface effects in digital trading platforms;
• behavioural responses in hybrid financial markets where algorithmic and human actors interact.

This line of work supports both standalone papers and reusable experimental tooling for finance-focused behavioural research.
