Abstract: We have analyzed the impact of agents and their trading strategies on an experimental electronic market. Therefore, we added an XML-interface to an existing electronic market and implemented artificial agents which acted as elements of disturbance in the trading process. These artificial traders applied simple and constant strategies which may sometimes appear to be rational or random to the eyes of other traders. We then stepped back and recorded the reaction of the electronic market.
