Held for tranding securities are assets that are held principally to generate short-term profits from short-term price fluctuations. They must be part of a portfolio with a pattern of short-term profit taking. Derivatives are always HFT, unless they are in a hedging relationship. Also, HFT classification is permanent - once an asset is classified as HFT, it cannot be removed from the category and accounted for differently.

Non-trading securities are financial instruments that a company holds for purposes other than active trading, typically for long-term investment or strategic reasons. These can include stocks, bonds, or other assets that are not intended to be sold in the short term. Non-trading securities are usually categorized as available-for-sale securities or held-to-maturity securities and are reported at fair value or amortized cost, respectively, on the balance sheet. This classification helps reflect the company's investment strategy and financial position.
