Development of a High-frequency Trading Program

In 2001, he began his work on the creation of a high-frequency trading (HFT) program that can work on its own, think on its own, and perform low-risk trading. This program has been providing returns of between 3% and 4% per day. HFT has been estimated to account for between 60% and 70% of all US stock trades.

The HFT program makes use of powerful computers to run complex algorithms that make very fast transactions. The key word here is “speed” because the faster the computer is able to perform a transaction, the more profit can be made compared to traders who are slower in their transactions. Through the algorithms included in the program, the computer analyzes several markets and then makes orders based on market conditions at that point in time.

Essentially, Massimiliano Fiano's system is designed to crunch big data to identify the dip in prices at certain instances in time when mutual funds or other big investors sell a large number of shares. This dip lasts just a few minutes, after which the system sells the stock again at a normal price, creating a profit.

Features of HFT

HFT is one of the most complex forms of trading for several reasons. The first is that there are a lot of HFTs, all of which aim to do the same thing. Secondly, it can be incredibly difficult to determine whether a price dip is one that will last just a few minutes due to a sale by a pension fund or other large-scale investor, or whether the stock or share is on a downward spiral. Thirdly, performing HFT means looking at every single stock, commodity, bond, option, and future on the market simultaneously.

These complexities are where powerful computers can be put to good use. A very large number of analyses can be conducted in a very short period of time. The major benefit of HFT is that it appears to have assisted regular investors. Another result is that the gap between what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are asking for - the bid-ask spread - has decreased substantially. This is because trading with the use of computers has made it very precise.
