High-frequency trading (HFT) is a form of algorithmic trading characterized by the use of advanced technological tools and strategies to execute trades at extremely high speeds and high volumes. HFT firms use powerful computers and complex algorithms to analyze market data and make trading decisions in fractions of a second, often capitalizing on small price discrepancies or market inefficiencies.
