<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1666612, member: 29012&quot;]It depends on what is being examined. There is HFT skimming, as in quote stuffing, taking money out of the economy without providing an actual good or service, and then there are situations like the flash crash, Knight Capital, etc. where something goes haywire in the code and they have to shut down markets to keep things in check.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are countless other mechanisms used to control the price such as derivatives, SLV, money printing, and so on. HFT is not so much used for that end as much as funding the others, but when desired it can inject a potent amount of &quot;liquidity&quot; into the market.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction.</i> - Warren Buffet[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
