Its like a person paying the casino for the privelege to be able to count cards and see the dealers hole cards at the same time. IT IS ILLEGAL I REPEAT ILLEGAL to post quotes without a TRADE INTENT. I Feel that a class action suit must be filed. It is the only way to crack down on this Crooked practice.

Interesting article…I’m posting a blog on this tomorrow. I think HFT is beneficial for the individual investor if done well.

High-frequency trading will improve market liquidity as there are always buyers or sellers available in the market when the investors want to trade.

@Big Cajun Man – no, they actually can get rebates from the exchange for making shares available believe it or not.

@Bruno – your contention is one shared with many people. Like congress.

@Thick – some HFT will die down a bit when markets are less volatile. Most investors will continue to go about just as nothing has happened, as most investors do not engage in strategies that are compromised by HFT. There have been talks about implementing a technology freeze on trading infrastructures… which gives me an idea for tonight’s post – thanks! :)

Besides the obvious ethical question, it begs the question whether markets are now too efficient and have basically left behind 99% of all market participants behind.

so the HFT firms use non-public information to make $21 billion a year at the expense of people -like me and most of us- who don’t have access to this information.
That should be illegal.

Wow, this again seems an odd way to make money, but a good use of High Technology. I assume these traders aren’t paying high trade charges?
