there are two elements to consider - first is how fast the broker gets the data to you - if the data is a few hundred milliseconds slow, or lags during fast market, then the decision your system makes to execute is going to be slow too. Then there is the issue of order latency. Remember...

I think there were around 300 traders at the time that pic was taken - mostly futures & derivatives

Marex Trading in London (formerly Refco Trading Services)

never heard of anything like it, and i'd be very surprised if voice or sound based scalping software even existed. not exactly a big market for it is there now

you can say that. any kind of trading is risky, but by definition futures spreading is somewhat lower risk that plain old directional outrights since you are hedged both long and short at the same time in two very tightly correlated instruments - and it IS a legitimate way to make a good living...

you're talking about spoofing/flipping. It only really affects people who trade the book, ie: bund/bobl spread traders. If you trade off a chart directionally, whether somone shows some size on the bid and pulls it or flips it to the ask shouldnt really affect you at all.

10 lots is pretty insignificant in the ES volume scheme of things. are you talking about limit orders or market orders? I'd bet you could safely sink 500-1000+ lots with no slippage during a normal morning session if you are paying up the spread.
