LFT

Low-frequency trading (LFT) is characterized by trading that involves trades which are executed on an intraday or on a daily basis.

The holding period of these securities generally ranges from a day to a few weeks. TBT (Tick by Tick) data is generally not required in low-frequency trading. The LFT strategies can be based on technical & fundamental analysis as well as through various statistical techniques via Quantitative Trading.

The primary benefits of LFT are reduction in transaction costs and minimizing taxable events while trading. Also in LFT, the portfolio becomes more diversified and often, the focus is more on stock picking.
