I believe the comment was talking about any kind of active trading (i.e. picking individual stocks to buy and sell), not only HFT, which uses millisecond fluctuations in security price to make a profit.

HFT doesn't need price fluctuations (though they are used if necessary). It is mostly about capturing spread and rebates.
