I don't think you can conflate automated trading with HFT. You could certainly gain the benefits of automated training without HFT, something that would probably save a boatload of cash.

It's not possible to conflate two things that are the same. HFT defines a trading style with shorter holding times but is still automated.

No, they are not the same at all. HFT requires automation, but you can (and should, IMO) have automation without HFT.
