Single market just straight-up bid/ask is almost impossible to do. In fact I'm not sure I've ever seen it done outside of pit traders in futures...
It's hard to define "impact". Anything sub-100us is usable in HFT. Maybe not straight-up vanilla arb, but you can make money. The problem is...
It's not like it's wrong to try, but I've never seen anyone pull it off. Giving the finger (in the large) to adverse selection is basically what...

Thanks for the effort, but too little, too late. I'm not now and have never been a quant-- I most certainly am not Aaron Brown, but that...
Good god, enough. If you can't tell that I know what I'm talking about, I'm not going to teach you.
I haven't looked at it much, but when I did I thought it would work because it's basically OCaml with .Net underneath. Nice combo.
I tried to bury the hatchet a bit, but fuck it. Both of your points here are just plain wrong. If a market moves up 50% every day, what is its...
OK now I'm confused. If you're trading like this (and for the record I agree with you, USD and EUR are both garbage, and EURUSD is going to 1),...
