That's good opportunity for: 1. Take data driven appeoach , that helps clear lot of air to back your strategies ( there is no single startegy thats 100%) 2. Capture reason for the pushback, take them on drawing board work to mitigating those and reschedule the meeting 3. Propose pilot approach to prove the outcome.

Make ready self with few key matrices which can demonstrate the reasons which will further do your job of verbally explaining. These can like the time take in processing, responsiveness and high scalability of product who will use new algorithm now vs older one. Data speaks self and the best weapon you can use to buy in from all stakeholders. Show the strategic value additions which will put your company and product on top of your competitors. It will be better if you can make a deck and publish it to other techies who are experts in that domain. Showcase how the new algorithm will help team in better debugging the issue in future and quick TAT. Don’t give up and show confidence in your talks, speeches and showcases.

Want to win over your team over new algorithmic trading strategies? Let's start by understanding their concerns. Actively listen to their responses and identify specific problems. Fear of change or lack of understanding Educate them by providing comprehensive explanations and relevant statistics that demonstrate the potential benefits. Share success stories from other companies to show positive results Involve team members in the strategy development process to increase data. Suggest small pilot projects to demonstrate effectiveness without full commitment. Emphasis on risk management issues Hold regular feedback sessions. and focus on working together Be patient and diligent in dealing with anxiety

I always lead with hard data. Show the team successful case studies or simulations where algorithmic trading has delivered measurable results. Nothing beats numbers for credibility. Listen to concerns. Address them with facts, not defensiveness. If there’s legitimate feedback, I’m ready to adapt the approach. Winning over skeptics isn’t about forcing adoption, it’s about making a compelling, data-backed case that makes resistance illogical.

Don’t try to win anyone over in algorithmic trading. This is a data driven field and as such it should be approached with a 100% open mind that is fully ready to continue absorbing data on a daily/weekly basis. If you think about the terminology, “win them over” it suggest that you’ve already made a decision and are now trying to influence the others to take the same stance you have taken. If you think deeply about what it means to be open-minded, you will never “take a stance” on any data. It’s better just to freely accept the new data as it comes and let your ideas be molded and shaped through experience and data. “Taking a stance” is more of a close minded type of position.
