ESMA report looks into extent of HFT activity in EU equity markets

December 17, 2014--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published today an economic report looking into the extent of high=frequency trading (HFT) activity in the European Union's equity markets.

This is the first study into HFT across major venues in the EU. Based on a sample of 100 stocks from nine EU countries in May 2013, the report finds that HFT activity ranges from 24% to 43% of equity value traded, using alternative methodologies.

ESMA's approach provides a lower bound of HFT activity (based on the primary business of firms-24% of equity value traded) and an upper bound of HFT activity (based on the lifetime of orders-43% of equity value traded). ESMA’s report also shows that the level of HFT activity varies widely between the estimation approach, trading venues and stocks
