Usually when our algorithm wants to make trades it will notify you. You can then press the "optimise your portfolio" button to optimise your portfolio. With automated portfolio optimisation you will not have to press the button, but our algorithm will execute the trades instead of you having to press the button.
The normal (FREE) way
When pressing the optimise your portfolio button we will calculate the optimal trades to be made, and show you what it wants to do.
Here you can check the trades and then slide to approve to execute all the trades. All this is what we call "manual portfolio optimisation" even though all calculations and trade executions are still done automatically. This does still however require you to click the optimise portfolio button.
So what does automated portfolio optimisation do?
The only difference with automated portfolio optimisation is that you will not have to click on the optimise portfolio button and instead of notifying you (you can still choose to get notified regardless) it will simply execute the trades without you having to navigate to our platform. This will make it truly hands free!
