Well automation of the trade processing element is what has allowed for algorithmic trading to be possible at anything above a glacial frequency. But I'm not sure what your question is in response to. Was there a suggestion of a link? I didn't see algorithmic trading mentioned, simply a description of the automation of trade processing that has occurred over the years (vs automation of the trade decision making process).
