French term or phrase: automate de trading
This is the title of a person (I assume; forgive me if I'm wrong, hence why I'm posting this question!!) who works at an investment bank. "Les activites de trading via des automates n'echappent pas a l'obligation d'avoir prealablement obtenu un Trader ID specifique pour traiter".

English translation:automated trading system
Explanation:
The term "robot" should IMO be avoided, as it has inescapable cyberman-type connotations in English... I believe this is simply talking about automated trading systems.

You could also rephrase the sentence using something like robot/automated trading activities...

agree  Mark Nathan: that was my take

  -> Thanks, Mark
agree  Maureen Wilkins (X): completely agree - especially avoid "robots"

neutral  Chris Hall: I believe that Rebecca had already suggested "automated trading" in her note at 5 minutes. Maybe you could have agreed with her, instead of posting a new answer??? Just a thought.
1 hr
  -> I was already in the process of typing my answer when Rebecca posted her note at five minutes, and thus did not see it until after submitting my answer.
agree  writeaway: with 2 minutes difference there is no way you could have seen the added-on suggestion, which doesn't refer to a system anyway-it refers to activities.

trader bot


Explanation:
In the vernacular :-)

One imagines that an automated trading system might deploy any number of distinct trader bots (each with its own Trader ID?).
