The
segment of High Frequency Trading
is currently designated as the ultimate technology in systems investments, because of the ability to manage orders directly to book on a high speed.
There
is much
controversy regarding this technology,
either for lack of structure and procedures of software development,
causing risk of failure, or the misuse of some
participants due to the price manipulation
caused by these systems.
FCA, British authority, fined by the 1st time a case of market
abuse caused by the misuse
of high-frequency
systems, due to an abusive practice
that uses high speed
to send and cancel a high volume of orders
in the book, pressing prices artificially.
