Your not doing HFT. What your doing is referred to as "Algorithmic" or "Black Box" trading.

GL to ya! Some of the best Quant funds pull in over 30%+ per year steadily in stocks.

Be aware that most of the purely math based trading operations eventually blow up during market crashes... As the people that run them have no traders instinct or common sense to avoid trading during major range breakdowns like occurred after the .com bust or during 2008.

Talk to Don Bright. You need a prop relationship.

I agree, but if he is immediately in the BEST fund category, then he's making 3,000 dollars per YEAR.

can you just work this system on futures, get $500 margin, and trade 10 lots. then we can talk about $3,000 per DAY. of course, odds are this amount will go in the negative column. just ask emg or whomever.

Like others have said, you probably need to go prop with a deposit. The commissions will only decrease with the more volume you trade. Look for ones that allow for automated trading. PM and I have some recommendations. I am a college student as well.

If you're 21 or under you can open an account with Interactive Brokers for 3,000.

Day one he is a PDT. Having an open account for equities is meaningless. I hear the futures markets calling him!
