Legal aspects and minimizing of transaction costs are considered.Classification of algorithms and different types of algorithmic trading strategies are discussed as well as trends in their usage. The focus is entirely placed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange. Thus, this paper discusses the circumstances on the Bulgarian capital market and the needed criteria, that should be met in order to establish the ground of the application of algorithmic and high-frequency trading.
