Those who oppose HFT should post what you think your profits will be like once it's banned. 100%/year? 1000%? 10,000%?

Since you know that it's HFT and only HFT that puts you in the losing trader category, you must have some idea of how big a winner you'd be when it's gone.

Please, enlighten the rest of us.

Quote from Rationalize:

meh .. back to blaming hedge funds, or those "evil" short sellers, or whatever.

Anything to avoid actually taking responsibility for shitty trades.

That is about the jist of it. I am sure the PPT uses the same technology. The funny thing is it is so easy to back door these operations into the common market under a different name and location. This will not stop HFT activities nor will it correct the issue. Adaptive technologies could mitigate the issue but you not stop human greed.

HFT is not banned. You can do HFT if you have 1M euro and are certified by the government. This is about who is controlling the market not about HFT. EU bureaucracy cannot stand free markets. They need to print lots of bonds without anybody checking what they are worth.
