I thought this would be a decent place to list trading edges that are typically out of reach for the average retail trader who does not have the bank roll to fund massive costs and payrolls to analyze and gather data. My main point of this thread is to hopefully let people who trade understand wht they are up against when it comes to playing with the pros so that most of us can stop being so hard on ourselves about losing trades and maybe get a little better at trading overall. Post a list,pics, links, and comments have a great day! https://futurism.com/new-satellite-buildings-day-night

https://technologyevangelist.co/category/hft/page/2/ server lock huh.. imagine turning it on and off and imagine trusting hft to NOT purposely use this to their own advantage. the more you learn the more you realize the whole thing is just one manipulted and controlled feed of feeds and if you stop thinking you will make money easier. it is not REAL ...NOT THE FIAT MONEY ! NOT THE EARNINGS! none of it!
Of course. HFTs "front-running" customer orders (illegal) are the ones with REAL edges over the market. Seems the regulators turn a blind eye because they steal "only a little bit" on each trade. If you're a retail screen jockey... there is no "edge" for you (including me)... but you don't need an "illegal edge" to prevail.... you just need to engage your grey matter.
um have you ever compared mkt depth to pre hft! liquidity overall has only gotten worse. i could always buy and sell with a lot more size than i can now.
