Have 20k? Start HFT

This may be of interest to some of you, the 20k surprised me.

i hear the old guy from the movie wall street saying "There's no such thing as easy money, kid."

 

He was an old man from an old movie.

 

did you notice in the slides they were using Think or Swim.....I am sure TOS is great but I don't know about that

 

"This article is great. Its so simple. Please write others like:
1. How to Build your own rocket ship and go to the moon.
2. How to cure cancer in 25 minutes. "

 

just an ad for those pimps at lime, who are trying to suck in as many fools as possible before they get shut down

 

I actually think that it's too late to get into the HFT game - it's getting arbed too much and the returns are really coming off the past several months.

 

Well one of the bigger HFT firms, TradeBot, started with 10k in a 1 bedroom apt. in Kansas

 

Well, Lime is owned by Tower Research Capital. The clients are subsidizing their own slippage on HFT - if they can arb it to zero plus a very, very small fraction, how is Joe Schmo going to do it?

 

What a ridiculous article. You need at LEAST a weekend course to learn HFT or a meet up with friends in NYC.
