HFT traders rely on ultra-fast speed of computer software, access to high-speed data channels (using FIX API and ITCH technology ), important resources and connectivity with minimal latency.
HFT trading is one of the most profitable and risk-free areas of trade, but at the same time it requires special knowledge and skills in this area and here you can not do without the initial starting capital.
There are several strategies according to which high-frequency traders act.
• Market Making, Electronic Liquidity Provision - a trader providing liquidity and making a profit from the spread (the difference between the purchase and sale prices). Additionally, for the provision of liquidity, improving the quality and attractiveness of the trading platform, traders can receive payments from stock exchanges or ECN, or save on transactional payments due to discounts.
• Statistical arbitrage, in which the trader tries to identify correlations between different securities and take advantage of the imbalances between them. Arbitration can be made between exchanges of different countries, exchanges of one country, between various forms of a traded index (for example, arbitration between a security and a derivative instrument from it).
• Liquidity detection , in which high-frequency traders are trying to detect large orders or hidden orders, including from automated systems, constantly sending small orders to the market, and tracking the time they are completed.
• Latency arbitrage , in which the high-frequency trader gains an advantage due to earlier access to market information, for example, using a direct connection to the trading platform, hosting servers near exchanges.
