By July 2025, High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is an integral part of global financial markets. It is a form of algorithmic trading where computer programs execute a massive number of trades in milliseconds, using complex algorithms and specialized equipment. The main goal of HFT is to profit from minimal price fluctuations, differences in spreads (bid-ask spread), or arbitrage between different trading venues. HFT firms invest billions of dollars in technology to gain even the slightest advantage in speed.
