It includes a wide variety of academic, government, and industry data-driven research from institutions around the world, including MIT, Harvard, Princeton, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank of England, the University of Chicago, BlackRock, Cornell, the SEC, the European Central Bank, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, the London School of Economics, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, and many others. HFT research is especially relevant after the events of October 15, 2014, when yields on U.S. Treasuries flash crashed, and the events of August 24, 2015, when U.S. stock markets suffered their second trillion dollar flash crash in five years. Among other topics, research posted here explores how the most common high frequency trading business model today - unregulated or poorly regulated market making, often called “scalping” - can be abusive and disruptive. Several of these studies even predate automation. Along with evidence-based research, separate sections of this bibliography include press editorials, op- eds, other commentary, and a variety of statements from government bodies and government officials from around the world about high frequency trading. This document begins with an overview and research highlights. A detailed research bibliography containing nearly 150 studies follows the highlights. Significant critical study findings are summarized or quoted in the highlights and the detailed bibliography. While this bibliography summarizes and excerpts critical findings, some studies cited here show mixed effects about high frequency trading. Interested readers can link to the full text of almost every included work. Please also note various industry, academic, and government definitions of high frequency trading listed in the final section of this document, and note the special section on Michael Lewis's "Flash Boys." R. T. Leuchtkafer March 2016 High Frequency Trading: 3 A Bibliography Research Highlights Volatility In a 2010 study of the 2010 Flash Crash, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found that high frequency traders substantially increased volatility during the event and accelerated the crash. Kirilenko et. al. (2014) studied the 2010 Flash Crash and found the same, concluding that high frequency traders "can amplify a directional price move and significantly add to volatility." Menkveld and Yueshen (2015) confirmed the U.S. government's and Kirilenko's narratives about the Flash Crash. The U.S. Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission released a Joint Staff Report about events on October 15, 2014, when "the market for U.S. Treasury securities, futures, and other closely related financial markets experienced an unusually high level of volatility." The report found high frequency trading firm strategies "aggressively traded in the direction of price moves during the event window, accounting for the bulk of the overall aggressive trading imbalance observed." Madhavan (2012) examined almost two decades of U.S. equities data and wrote that "The link to higher frequency quotation activity and the current high levels of fragmentation help explain why a Flash Crash did not occur before and offers a counterpoint to the view that the Flash Crash stemmed from an unlikely confluence of events." The Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the stock market regulator in Australia, found in a 2013 study that during volatile markets high frequency traders reduce their liquidity supply and increase their liquidity demands. After studying a decade's worth of U.S. data, Hasbrouck (2015) found that high frequency quoting increased a measure of intraday volatility by a factor of two or more. The Bank for International Settlements looked at foreign exchange markets and concluded in a 2011 study that high frequency traders exacerbate volatility in stressed markets. In 2016 the Bank for International Settlements published a study of the recent evolution of sovereign debt markets and found that because of the adoption of algorithmic and high frequency trading "some market participants have highlighted that while liquidity is ample in normal times, it may have become more fragile in episodes of heightened demand for trading immediacy." Ben-David et. al (2012) studied 14 years of U.S. equity data and concluded that "HFT can be highly destabilizing as it propagates shocks across markets at very high speed." Bichetti et. al. (2012) examined 15 years of U.S. equities and futures data and determined that HFT strategies cause assets to "deviate from their fundamentals." Boehmer et. al. analyzed nine years of stock market data from 37 countries and in a 2012 paper concluded that algorithmic trading, including high frequency

  • Is the Stock Market Rigged? You May Have Heard About the 60 Minutes
    Is the Stock Market Rigged? You may have heard about the 60 Minutes interview with author Michael Lewis, a former Wall Street broker, author of "Liar's Poker" and "The Big Short," who has just come out with a new book entitled "Flash Boys." Lewis is an eloquent and astute critic of Wall Street's creative and predatory practices, and in his new book (and in the 60 Minutes interview) he offers evidence that the stock market is "rigged" by a cabal of high-frequency traders, abetted by stock exchanges and Wall Street firms. While it is true that certain parties may gain quicker access than others, some believe, the price discovery process (by allowing high frequency trading) is improved and, therefore, makes the process better for all. Regardless, for anyone practicing long-term investing, high frequency trading activities are essentially irrelevant Lewis exposed an advantage that certain traders receive by building high-speed fiber optic cable feeds directly into exchange computers that match buyers and sellers. Some actually have their trading computers located in the same room as the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq servers. And some pay extra for access to more information on who wants to buy and sell. All of this is perfectly legal, but Lewis points out that it is also shady. Why should some buyers and sellers have millisecond advantages over others? The problem is that these firms are able to jump in ahead of you and me and buy stocks at lower intraday prices, and then, a few seconds later, sell to the highest bidder before you and I would even see that bid on our screen.

  • Informational Inequality: How High Frequency Traders Use Premier Access to Information to Prey on Institutional Investors
    INFORMATIONAL INEQUALITY: HOW HIGH FREQUENCY TRADERS USE PREMIER ACCESS TO INFORMATION TO PREY ON INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS † JACOB ADRIAN ABSTRACT In recent months, Wall Street has been whipped into a frenzy following the March 31st release of Michael Lewis’ book “Flash Boys.” In the book, Lewis characterizes the stock market as being rigged, which has institutional investors and outside observers alike demanding some sort of SEC action. The vast majority of this criticism is aimed at high-frequency traders, who use complex computer algorithms to execute trades several times faster than the blink of an eye. One of the many complaints against high-frequency traders is over parasitic trading practices, such as front-running. Front-running, in the era of high-frequency trading, is best defined as using the knowledge of a large impending trade to take a favorable position in the market before that trade is executed. Put simply, these traders are able to jump in front of a trade before it can be completed. This Note explains how high-frequency traders are able to front- run trades using superior access to information, and examines several proposed SEC responses. INTRODUCTION If asked to envision what trading looks like on the New York Stock Exchange, most people who do not follow the U.S. securities market would likely picture a bunch of brokers standing around on the trading floor, yelling and waving pieces of paper in the air. Ten years ago they would have been absolutely right, but the stock market has undergone radical changes in the last decade. It has shifted from one dominated by manual trading at a physical location to a vast network of interconnected and automated trading systems.1 Technological advances that simplified how orders are generated, routed, and executed have fostered the changes in market † J.D.

The intent of this chapter is to broadly discuss categories of concerns about algorithmic and, more specifically, proprietary algorithmic trading based on issues regulators and legislators themselves have given as rationale for market intervention, but not to explore in detail every pos si ble issue that might be raised.

  • Michael Lewis Full Biography
    Michael Lewis Best-Selling Author of The Fifth Risk, Moneyball, The Blind Side, and The Big Short WHY MICHAEL LEWIS IS CAPTIVATING AUDIENCES A sharp observer of politics, finance, and the evolution of American culture, Michael Lewis combines keen insight with his signature wit, making him one of today’s leading social commentators. Lewis’ program takes a fresh, hard look at the ever-changing value systems that drive our economic markets, political landscapes, and cultural norms, and how organizations can adapt their thought strategies to facilitate growth among all three. ABOUT MICHAEL LEWIS Financial journalist and New York Times best-selling author Michael Lewis has published sixteen books on subjects ranging from politics to Wall Street. Lewis‘s newest book, The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy, was released in October 2018 and examines a government in crisis. The Trump Adminis- tration has notoriously failed to fill vacancies in some of the most important positions in crucial government agencies like the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Commerce. With so much at stake, Lewis seeks out the (former) linchpins of the system—those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity kept the machinery running for so many years—and asks them what keeps them up at night. In December 2016, Lewis released The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds. In keeping with his unparalleled ability to tell stories about "quirky individuals who zig when everyone else zags" (as The New York Times puts it), the book dives deep into the world of Daniel Kahneman 437 5TH AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10016 T 212.645.4200 E [email protected] WWW.GREATERTALENT.COM MICHAEL LEWIS GTN decision making and human errors in judgment.

  • Flaws in Financial Market Microstructure
    FINDING – AND FIXING – FLAWS IN FINANCIAL MARKET MICROSTRUCTURE Brian F. Mannix* [ 5/31/’16 Draft Submission to JLEP. NumWords = 9,171. ] Abstract: The automation of financial trading has dramatically reduced the cost of transactions, but at the same time has raised persistent questions about the effect of automation on market fairness, stability, and economic efficiency. This paper argues that there are indeed flaws in market microstructure, but they are not the sort that are easily addressed by regulation. Instead, technological innovation – especially the introduction of temporally buffered trading – is likely to provide a satisfactory resolution of existing problems. Temporal buffering gives market participants the option of trading more slowly, while limiting their exposure to predation by higher-speed traders. Three varieties are considered: short random delays (as used by ParFX), short fixed delays (as used by IEX), and short batched auctions (as proposed by Budish, et al). Contrary to a common misunderstanding, an “efficient market” cannot mean the fastest possible market, because speed incurs real resource costs. Temporal buffering allows market participants to choose their preferred speed, and improves market efficiency in two ways: it avoids wasteful expenditures on high-speed “racing,” and it reduces the transient information asymmetries that otherwise tend to be ubiquitous in high-speed markets. Regulators’ priorities should be to: (1) avoid creating barriers to constructive innovations, (2) provide a regulatory framework that allows markets operating at different speeds to co-exist, and (3) rely on competition to sort out which innovations are useful and which are not. INTRODUCTION In the 21st century, automated algorithmic trading by computers has become the dominant method of exchanging securities, commodities, derivatives, and currencies in major markets around the world.

Norton & Company ISBN 978-0-393-24466-3 Price: $ 27.95; pp. 271 Reviewed By: Philip Kachajian Journal of High Technology Law Suffolk University Law School “I’m immediately skeptical of people who say they are looking out for my interests, especially on Wall Street.” (p. 114) Michael Lewis’s, Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt1 is a high energy sprint through the world of High Frequency Trading (HFT), a phenomenon within Wall Street which came to dominate the U.S. stock market and various other stock markets worldwide starting in late 2009 and continuing until its exposure by the novel’s protagonists in 2013. Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Lewis’s work is not that he does not take a position on the issue of the HFT takeover and subsequent fall, but that he allows the book’s characters to do it for him, only injecting an omniscient author’s perspective in the gaps within the plot. The novel’s main character and chief protagonist, Brad Katsuyama, serves as the vehicle for Lewis’s own thesis, that HFT has created an unfair, deceptive subculture within Wall Street that is focused not on protecting and furthering the interests of investors, but instead on ensuring its own primacy within the stock exchange at the expense of all other parties. The novel itself follows the story of Brad Katsuyama and his ragtag band of fellow idealists, and Lewis paints an impressively complete picture of Wall Street through their eyes, allowing even the most uninformed reader (such as myself) to understand the complexity of the situation.

The goal of this report is twofold – to show the impact of the Michael Lewis book Flash Boys on media discussions surrounding high-frequency trading, and to illustrate the nature of that coverage through analysis of top organizaons, top issues/events, and the top outlets and journalists found within coverage. What exactly is high-frequency trading? Good ques6on. Investopedia says high-frequency trading is a “trading plaorm that uses powerful computers to transact a large number of orders at very fast speeds. High-frequency trading uses complex algorithms to analyze mul6ple markets and execute orders based on market condi6ons. Typically, the traders with the fastest execu6on speeds will be more profitable than traders with slower execu6on speeds.” Lewis’s angle to his book – that high-frequency trading is essen6ally a negave prac6ce allowing traders to “rig” the market – was a constant theme in media coverage. What media coverage did you use? The report was limited to men6ons of high-frequency trading in online news stories from major English daily newspaper sites in North America, major financial news websites and newswires, and major general news sites. Coverage was monitored using the keyword “high frequency trading.” When exactly did you look at coverage? Coverage was analyzed during the first half of 2014: January 1 to June 30, 2014, inclusive.
