High frequency trading for individual investors differs from institutional trading in various ways. Individual investors are limited in their trading capacity when compared to financial institutions, and as a result, there are some techniques individual investors can implement when trading the major currencies on an intraday basis. Day traders should look for currency pairs with tight spreads, and take a position when there is a high level of depth in the market to avoid slippage. Assessing the times when market liquidity is high can help fill market orders quickly, which could help to avoid missing a profitable opportunity.
