Description

We examine how high-frequency trading affects low-frequency trading. We find that high-frequency trading enhances the liquidity by increasing the trade frequency and quantity of low-frequency orders. High-frequency trading also improves order execution quality of low-frequency limit orders by reducing the waiting time and improving the likelihoods of execution of low-frequency limit orders. Our results also suggest that high-frequency trading operates as an intermediary to low-frequency orders and such intermediary effect facilitates low-frequency orders' liquidity and order execution quality. Compared with traditional market makers, high-frequency trading has larger impacts on low-frequency limit orders' liquidity and order execution quality, implying that high-frequency trading has become the dominant liquidity providers to low-frequency trading.
