High frequency trading: you’ve heard the term, but chances are you simply filed it in the back of your mind, somewhere after “arbitrage” and before “long/ short equity.” It’s investing lingo for millionaires and up, something that only those wealthy enough to invest in hedge funds should really bother to understand.
