Cloud Computing will make Algos faster  reliable and cost effective for trading in stocks and commodities globally. Algos which were the privilege of large fund management houses will now be available to any investor as a SAAS solution in the cloud. Here is a link to one such solution from EtnaSoft http://www.etnasoft.com/solutions/etna-robot.

Algos will make the day trader redundant and we will see more doctoral candidates stringing the Algo logic and the trade cycles being executed in shorter cycle time.
The regulator will be forced to acknowledge and accept Algo trading and exchanges will need to move their trading applications to the Cloud to support the Algo engines.
NYSE has already done significant work in leveraging the cloud for trading, other exchanges will need to finalize their cloud strategy for their trading engine.
Be prepared for greater upheavals in the global financial markets in the day ahead and tools for Risk Management will also move to the cloud to keep pace at this unprecedented speed and computing power driven by algos in the cloud.

Today a 24x7 global trading platform is viable and the cloud computing infrastructure which is agile, economical and available 24x7 the world is ready for non-stop trading with Algo engines. But Is the Regulator Ready ?
