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.
