What is required to execute HFT?

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) requires specialized hardware to execute trades at extremely high speeds. The hardware used for HFT includes:

• High-Performance Super Computers: HFT requires powerful computers with multiple processors to analyze market data and execute trades in real-time. These computers typically use specialized chips, such as FPGAs or ASICs, which are optimized for high-speed data processing.
• Low-Latency Networking: HFT requires low-latency networks that can transmit data between the exchange and the trading firm's computers in milliseconds. This is typically achieved through the use of specialized networking hardware such as switches, routers, and fiber-optic cables.
• Data Storage: HFT requires large amounts of storage to store historical market data, which is used to train the algorithm. These storage solutions typically use SSDs or other fast storage technologies to ensure high-speed data access.
• Cooling Systems: HFT hardware generates a lot of heat, so specialized cooling systems are required to keep the hardware running at optimal temperatures.
• Software: HFT requires specialized software to analyze market data and execute trades. This software typically includes trading platforms, risk management systems, and algorithms.

In addition to the hardware and software, HFT also requires specialized knowledge and expertise to design and implement the systems, manage and maintain them, and continuously improve the algorithm and strategies used for trading. This expertise typically includes knowledge of market data analysis, software development, networking, and system administration.

It's important to note that HFT requires significant investments in hardware, software, and personnel, and it's also important to be aware of the regulations and laws of the countries where the trading is conducted.

Why isn’t everyone doing HFT?

High-Frequency Trading (HFT) is a complex and capital-intensive activity that requires significant investments in specialized hardware, software, and personnel. Not everyone is able to make these investments, and as a result, HFT is typically only done by large financial institutions and hedge funds.

Another reason is that HFT requires specialized knowledge and expertise to design and implement the systems, manage and maintain them, and continuously improve the algorithm and strategies used for trading. Not everyone has the expertise or resources to develop and maintain an HFT operation.

Additionally, HFT is a high-risk activity, with the potential for large profits but also large losses. The high-speed and high-volume nature of HFT can also increase the risk of market disruptions and flash crashes.

Finally, regulations and laws of different countries play a big role in the prevalence of HFT. In some countries, HFT is heavily regulated and restricted, making it difficult or impossible for firms to engage in this activity.

Therefore, the combination of high costs, specialized knowledge and expertise, high-risk and compliance with laws and regulations are some of the reasons why not everyone is doing HFT.
