Why it matters

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) matters because it changes how teams evaluate product risk, user experience, compliance exposure, and financial interpretation.

How it works

In practice, High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is understood through its operational role, the systems it touches, and the market actors that depend on it.

Risks and pitfalls

The main pitfall is to use High-Frequency Trading (HFT) as a buzzword without understanding the underlying controls, limits, and cross-border implications.
