ABSTRACT:The ethics of high frequency trading are obscure, due in part to the complexity of the practice. This article contributes to the existing literature of ethics in financial markets by examining a recent trend in regulation in high frequency trading, the prohibition of deception. We argue that in the financial markets almost any regulation, other than the most basic, tends to create a moral hazard and increase information asymmetry. Since the market’s job is, at least in part, price discovery, we argue that simplicity of regulation and restraint in regulation are virtues to a greater extent than in other areas of finance. This article proposes criteria for determining which high-frequency trading strategies should be regulated.



In this paper we take a retrospective look at our paper “Phantom Liquidity and High-Frequency Quoting” and discuss the context of the research in light of our broader inquiry into the nature of the high-frequency trading industry. The data presented in this paper appear to show that limit order cancellations of high-frequency traders are associated with price discovery and liquidity provision, rather than some manner of systematic taking advantage of other market participants. These firms are acting as rational, profit-seeking businesses, and we believe time has shown this view to be correct. In the years since publication, HFT has matured, and consolidated into fewer, lower-cost providers of efficiency and liquidity services, much like we would expect in any other industry.
