High frequency trading uses fast computers and algorithms to trade stocks quickly. After a big market crash in 2010, regulators are trying to understand and control this type of trading. It's hard for them to figure out how high frequency trading affects the market because it's so complex and secretive. The researchers talked to traders, computer experts, and regulators to learn more about it. They found that high frequency trading is a tricky thing to regulate because it's connected to many different markets around the world.
