Back to Glossary

Description

Automated trading platforms that execute a large number of orders at very fast speeds.

High Frequency Trading (HFT) involves the use of sophisticated algorithms and ultra-fast computer systems to execute a massive number of orders at speeds unattainable by human traders. HFT strategies aim to capitalise on minute price discrepancies across markets, or to react to market events quicker than other participants. This type of trading has raised debates about market fairness, stability, and the role of technology in finance.
