  1. Fischer Black didn't want to give people a hint about the market price before they traded, and I will.

  4. Profit=net profit?

    That's why HFT must exist?


    Ummm..... I think there needs to be a little bit more explanation, nitro, <i>maybe try more than 5 sentences than your usual <b>outpost everyone at all costs and make extremely frequent short posts</b> posts.</i>

  6. Again, <b>how about 5 sentences of your own that explains the point you're trying to make?</b>

    Is it that you are afraid of typing more information than you understand so you don't want to look like an uneducated idiot?

    Come on, nitro! At least say something worthwhile than that you are fasciated by subset-sum problems in computer sciences and mathematics.

    If you need inspiration, why don't you try the question: what does p=np problems have to do with HFT?

    You seem to be trying to make the connection but haven't explained why.

    5 sentences, please.

  9. You can change your ignore list at any time.

    Ignoring me is like ignoring the professor in the class and you'll never get an A that way.
