When it comes to tech toys, high-frequency trading (HFT) used to be the place where the cool kids in finance played. But now AI is showing up and changing things up! “AI is throwing open the doors of high-frequency trading, inviting smaller firms and individual traders to join the algorithmic party,” Reitberg says. Your Aunt Edna, who thinks a stock is something you put on a sandwich, can now trade faster than you can say “market volatility!” thanks to trading systems powered by AI. These systems let traders make their own strategies and look at the market in real time, so it’s fair for everyone, no matter how experienced they are in trading. As AI technology shines brighter and better, we can look forward to a parade of fun tools that will let all kinds of traders join the high-frequency trading party! The party for high-frequency traders just got a lot bigger! As more people join, there will be tough competition, more money coming in and out, and new trading methods that will keep everyone on their toes. Who knew that trading stocks could be so much fun?
