We will discuss the special quantitative and practical issues that arise in algorithmic trading of equities and futures. These markets have a number of special details that must be taken into account to design effective algorithms. The following questions will also be addressed: How can we infer HF activity? Can HF strategies trigger other strategies? What is the relation between HF activity and broader measures of market quality? How do specific features of market design affect HF strategy design?
