High-Speed Trading No Longer Hurtling Forward

100% agree with that. But what do you mean when using term HFT.

 

It's just another Zero Sum Game, baby... not magic.

I'd bet that > 95% of Algo operations lose money...
The expenses are completely off the charts...
But you probably have spinoff benefits for large firms...
Kinda like the late US space program.

 

ET style?
HFT is the guy on the other side of everyone's losing trades.

 

Ha... good one. HFT is indeed the ET bogeyman.

It's always funny how people on a forum for short term trading so despise other people doing short term trading....

 

So what would be the condition for you to make winning trades? Who would you like to trade against? Santa?

And your profit from winning trades would come from whom?

 

This is the kind of reply from you that makes me wonder if you are playing with a full deck of cards...

Are you ignoring his point on purpose, or do you seriously not understand what he meant?

 

Everyone is moving on to SFT, the media has not caught on yet.

(Sub frequency Trading)

 

Come on! you are making this up right?

 

It is simple logic:

HFT wins 100% is false

And

everyone who trades with HFT "guy" loses is false.

Which means he does not have a point and by extension this applies to you.

 

vicirek,

I think monstimal was being sarcastic and/or mocking the "ET Style".
