hahaha I don't even want to justify your stupidity with a proper response. You clearly have no idea how the current market works. I really hope you actually trade and for the record.... (a) I never asked a question... check the post... I merely confirmed my assumption (b) I don't use any "smart" orders. (c) I'm not a retail trader... I thought that would be obvious by my name (d) When did I ever say HFTs were bad In the future I plan to just ignore your posts as they haven't added any real value and the general tone you have taken in your messages annoys me. Good luck and see you on the battlefield...
Anyone who knew wouldn't have needed to "confirm the assumption". No assumption was needed -- the OP's post was perfectly clear. So then how are your orders being flashed? Only DirectEdge's exchanges even have flash at this point, and even then the order has to have the right tags. Perhaps you should route to a venue that doesn't have flash (e.g. any exchange other than EDGA or EDGX)...
