High-frequency trading is a kind of market activity that moves in less than one millisecond to spot and take advantage of an opportunity to buy or sell. It happens through trading algorithms, programs that determine how to trade based on fast-moving market data. • High-frequency trading, also known as HFT, is a method of trading that uses powerful computer programs to transact a large number of orders in fractions of a second. It uses complex algorithms to analyze multiple markets and execute orders based on market conditions. Typically, the traders with the fastest execution speeds are more profitable than traders with slower execution speeds. • Advantages of High-Frequency Trading • Significant Returns • High-frequency trading, along with trading large volumes of securities, allows traders to profit from even very small price fluctuations. It allows institutions to gain significant returns on bid-ask spreads. • More Trading Opportunities • Trading algorithms can scan multiple markets and exchanges. It enables traders to find more trading opportunities, including arbitraging slight price differences for the same asset as traded on different exchanges. • More Efficient • Many proponents of high-frequency trading argue that it enhances liquidity in the market. HFT clearly increases competition in the market as trades are executed faster and the volume of trades significantly increases. The increased liquidity causes bid-ask spreads to decline, making the markets more price-efficient. • Risks of High-Frequency Trading • High Risk-Reward Ratio • High-frequency traders rarely hold their portfolios overnight, accumulate minimal capital, and establish holding for a short time frame before liquidating their position. As a result, the risk-reward is exceptionally high. • Market Volatility • Decisions happen in milliseconds, and this could result in big market moves without reason. As an example, on May 6, 2010, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) suffered its largest intraday point drop ever, declining 1,000 points and dropping 10% in just 20 minutes before rising again. A government investigation blamed a massive order that triggered a sell-off for the crash. • Can be Illegal • Using “Pinging” and “Spoofing” strategies are illegal and are used to manipulate the market. • Pinging is a strategy in which the high-frequency trader sends many small orders to an exchange. If these orders are all filled instantly, the high-frequency trader can infer that on the other side of the trade is a big investor looking to move a large volume of shares. The high-frequency trader then takes this knowledge and uses it against the big investor by moving the price against him - buying if he wants to buy and then selling it back to him at a higher price, selling if he wants to sell and then buying it back at a lower one. • Spoofing is a strategy, ostensibly banned in 2010, in which high-frequency traders send in orders with the idea of trying to confuse, or spoof, other traders - and especially other trading algorithms - into thinking that demand to buy or sell a stock is coming. If the other traders fall for it, the algorithm quickly reverses course to take the side of the trade it actually wanted. • The Bottom Line • Algorithmic HFT has a number of risks, the biggest of which is its potential to amplify systemic risk. Its propensity to intensify market volatility can ripple across to other markets and stoke investor uncertainty. Repeated bouts of unusual market volatility could wind up eroding many investors' confidence in market integrity. • Enjoyed the video?
