I'm all for progress but 27k messages in 2 seconds isn't it. Would enjoy seeing the impact of new rules such as the requirement that orders remain "live" for a minimum time e.g. a second or two. Doesn't seem right that orders can come and go in less time than it takes for signals to travel from human brain to the mouse-finger. Suggest the world would be a better place all-round if the talent at tech-driven trading firms was (forcibly) redeployed to something else.
