You are maybe confused because HFT refer to a very specific trading hack that is not available to general public.
What you refer to sound more like brokers that offer online trading services, it's "instantaneous" but not fast enough to enable the latency scam used in HFT.
- denotational 3y ago> HFT refer to a very specific trading hack Maybe 10 years ago, but these days (outside of very specific markets) most of the big “HFT”s are really doing quantitative trades or market making. > that is not available to general public Collocating with a venue is expensive and clearing membership of an exchange has capital requirements, but it’s not some old-boys club; anyone with sufficient funds can take part. It’s not available to the general public to exactly the same extent that exchange membership isn’t available to the general public.
