The Algorithmic Trading and Flash Crashes: The rise of algorithmic trading and high-frequency trading (HFT) has transformed financial markets, enabling computer algorithms to execute trades at speeds and volumes beyond human capability. Conspiracy theorists allege that these algorithms can be manipulated to trigger flash crashes and market volatility for profit. They argue that HFT firms and sophisticated traders exploit market inefficiencies and engage in predatory practices that harm retail investors and destabilize financial markets. While there have been instances of flash crashes and market disruptions attributed to algorithmic trading, the extent to which they are the result of deliberate manipulation remains a subject of debate among market participants and regulators.
