ABSTRACT

High Frequency Trading (hereinafter referred to as HFT) is known to play a positive role in providing liquidity to the market and improving market efficiency, while expanding volatility and spreading false liquidity by repeating correction and cancellation. Despite the tightening of regulations on HFT by overseas financial authorities, the proportion of sales by HFT continues to increase. This study defined HFT based on order speed for the domestic stock market and analyzed the investment performance and market influence of HFT. According to the analysis results, HFT continued to achieve significant results through day trading strategies and played a positive role in increasing market efficiency without negatively affecting individual stock prices and volatility. This study is differentiated in that it defined HFT based on order speed, and proved that HFT is benefiting, unlike previous studies that show that significant investment performance cannot be achieved due to transaction taxes imposed on sales in the stock market
