    If you say so….

    But then, that means;

    You don’t think the htf real-estate will ever become over crowded – to the point of cannibalism

    You think the htf “edge” will be enduring (a true edge must withstand the test of time)

    You think there is no way to out trade the htfs – meaning PA will never simply evolve to reflect the htf activity, along with all other participants…

    But instead, will remain apart from the other participant’s PA – and thus never able to be exploited

    More I could list – by why – we think what we think – and trade accordingly
    ================

    Can’t count the number of pseudo edges that have came and went over the years
    ================

    But like I said;

    If you say so

    ===============

    As for prediction - a trader doesn't - we anticipate (big difference)

  4. This is a good article. The comments section on the article itself is also good. The problem is that there’s so much about HFT that’s a mystery to the vast majority of people so I like seeing articles that try to shed some light on it for everyone.
