Just remember this, every time this guy has a losing week, a computer algorithm had a positive week. Every time this guy has a losing month, the computers sitting in a Jersey Warehouse will have a positive gain. And every time this guy tries to close out of a tanking market, the algorithms will already have known that. The only question is whether mental illness is covered on this trader's health insurance.
You sit there watching a stock print on the offer for 10 minutes, they finally take it, the thing moves 10c stays there 5 minutes and all of a sudden all those that took the offers went away and it cracks 50c to the downside.... Definitely have to adapt - the last two weeks have been an hft paradise imo.... The 11 seconds thing and contributing to society? If you're well positive - I guess you pay taxes, and quite a bit of them. Who gives a fuck how you get your money as long as it's legal.... That old saying about losers whining......
