Description

Report Overview

High‑Frequency Trading (HFT) refers to the use of ultra‑low latency, fully automated trading systems powered by advanced algorithms and high-performance computing infrastructure. These systems execute extremely large volumes of trades (often millions per day), scanning multiple markets simultaneously and reacting in microseconds to fleeting arbitrage opportunities. HFT platforms rely on components such as co‑location, direct market access (DMA), proprietary fiber or microwave networks, and AI/ML-enhanced algorithmic models for execution. The product scope encompasses both market‑making strategies—providing continuous bid/ask liquidity—and directional or arbitrage strategies—capitalizing on minute price discrepancies across venues.

The market size of the High-Frequency Trading (HFT) industry refers specifically to the total annual revenue generated by firms engaged in high-speed, algorithm-driven trading activities. This revenue is derived from a combination of profits earned through bid-ask spreads in market-making, gains from statistical arbitrage, momentum strategies, and other proprietary trading techniques. It reflects the actual income these firms capture from executing large volumes of trades at ultra-low latency—not the total value of assets traded.
