Who's afraid of high-frequency trading?

Discussion in 'Automated Trading' started by Dogfish, Dec 2, 2009.

  1. Do you know how I can get access to flash orders? Is it only reserved for large banks or is it included in the regular ECN feed they send to various trading software (sterling/lighspeed/anvil).


    Thank you

  2. rufus has worked as a quant on investment bank desks doing exactly that and now runs his own shop. you're in way over your head here son.

    ever heard of market making? cuz big banks don't do any of that stuff rgt? spreads are for the peons.

    anyway, i concur... you have know idea what you're talking about. you sound like an ex-clerk who overheard enough ignorant conversations to be dangerous.

    absolutely true. they dont have any idea how much they are really worth. they could easily leave and do everything themselves if they had the money
