High Frequency Trading - Tickerguy's View

Front-running is supposed to be illegal. But equally important is the impact on volatility and amplification of price moves that this practice is almost-certainly bringing to the exchanges. It is time to stop the cheating!

Flash orders were introduced to save route-out fees and they are intended to be used by computers

The game is Fixed!!!!!!! The market should have gone down this week . . . instead . . . it went up? Higher stock prices with little volume . . . I have had it . . . I no longer trade in US stocks. With the week dollar I am investing overseas. I am sick and tired of the market manipulation. BASTARDS!!

I was a little confused in the beginning, I think there's a small mistake. You can't have both bids and offers at $20 (the same price), because then those orders would execute.

I've been trying to understand the problem with flash orders, and I think I get it. It seems to me like you would be an idiot to make a bid at a price higher than the best offer though. Good thing most exchanges have stopped flash orders!

@UpTick21 Its a year later now. Look at the commodities market. India and CHina and Brazil have trippled their consumption levels, look at the market....... totally down.

There is just no market-structure driving the stock exchange, leaving no room for intelligent investment decisions. This sucks, buy gold and build businesses is the only way it seems.

Might these flash trade algorithms explain the stock trade peak days before 9/11?
