The document discusses high-frequency trading (HFT) and whether it is part of the solution or problem for efficient capital markets. It notes both potential benefits of HFT, such as higher liquidity and lower volatility, and potential issues, such as front-running and flash crashes. The document concludes that while technological development from HFT is required for global trading, it could be part of the problem if left unregulated due to risks from excessive and uninformative message traffic, overly complex market microstructures, untested trading algorithms, and interdependencies between algorithms.
