algo
Step-by-step instructions
Algo is informal shorthand for algorithm, especially in finance and tech.
In trading, algos are automated programs that execute buy and sell orders based on preset rules: The algos drove prices down in milliseconds.
In social media contexts, the algo refers to the recommendation system that determines what content users see: The algo keeps showing me cat videos.
