High-Frequency Trading

What Is High-Frequency Trading? What Are The Factors To Be Understood?

There are two chief platforms in the Indian Stock Market namely, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). On the other hand, there are other exchanges as well.

The point to be noted is that NSE and BSE are not government owned but privately owned and regulated by the SEBI Securities Exchange Board of India.

Companies are completely traded only on one platform.

Some of the Ways to be Traded in these Markets are as follows:

You Can Trade In These Markets In Various Ways:

Long-Term Trading: A Stock is held for many months to even several years.

Medium Term Trading: The duration of holding is for few weeks to a few months

Short Term Trading: Stocks can be held for more than one day to a few weeks only

Day Trading: This is usually known by the term intraday trading. These stocks will be automatically squared off at the end of the day. This is when the market closes for the day, if not purposely traded by then.

What Is Squaring Off?

Squaring off a trade reflects an equal number of shares from the same company that has to be bought and sold within the day. They can be sold and bought or bought and sold in either way.

With the dawn of computers and online share trading, physical interaction between buyers and sellers is minimal and the frequency of intra-day trading has increased.

Formerly, the buyers and sellers of the shares had to strike a deal on the exchange.

Computers have enabled online trading that permits a decentralized exchange.

This causes the market to move up and down the index quicker, making the stock market a very fast rate situation.

Highly frequency trading is a computerized trading platform that usually makes the usage of computers dominant to transact many orders at exceptionally high speeds.

These computers use Algorithm trading or Quantitative trading. Technology permits a round trip within 250 microseconds.

It is imperative that the high-frequency trading part of the stock market is done by professionals as those new to trading do not recognize the functioning of the market even though they can enter this market at any age, at home.
