    Liffe - Euribor - Total Volume Collapse

    well if you needed further proof that the hft / algo model has burst and that the firms they set up ( rsj, getco and the rest ) are finished - here is the the latest confirmation with liffe's volume figures. the costs at the hft firms must be huge now with hundreds of overpaid programmers...

    Eurex Volumes Collapse

    i also notice how the bund is taking longer each to day to get the same volume. at 1pm to 2pm it was kind of 1/2 million. now it takes nearly 330 to get the same volume.

    Regulators Start New Review of Auto-Trading Practices

    finally - only took them 5 years and every local to be wiped out for them to realise hft cheats the system and front runs. what a joke organisation. the only reason this investigation is taking place now is because the volumes have fallen off a cliff and the reason is hft creates no new...

    The stock markets are dead

    hft does not create any volume or liquidity. it sucks it out of the system and kills it. exchange volume was a bubble that has burst. all they are left with is lots of working prices from algos and hfts that are an illusion of genuine business. the volume will keep falling...

    Eurex Vols

    like most arcades their presentations are a waste of time. the model worked back in 2000 for about 2 years. now it does not work. whats does work is taking 5k from someone to tell them how to make money trading. its a snake oil sale. keep them hooked and get them to put another 5k...

    Eurex Vols

    yep standard industry rip off. desk fee churning commission - tiny limits. as soon as you put 5k up they want another 5k within 2 weeks. impossible to make any forward progress. their turnover rate of new traders is massive as they cant find any profitable traders. the training is...

    EUREX/volume and BOTS

    yes i agree with my colleagues zerohedge is not worth reading. however cnbc are very good and the ft is even better. they have managed to get the story out of greece wrong for the last 6 months. nothing like good investigative journalism. everything the ft print turns out to be...

    Ran Poor Service

    ive found recently that even when ran mentions any news very little of it makes any money anymore. gone are the days when the market actually moves in the right direction anymore. most of time as you soon as you position yourself the correct way the algos force you out. even if you...

    Eurex Volumes Collapse

    the evidence is citi cross/ match is actively calling high volume retail business - ( my friends sales / prop desk at a respected european bank ) to shift their fixed income business from eurex, liffe and cme to their dark pool. fact. lots of similar desk are getting the same sales...

    Eurex Volumes Collapse

    therein lies the debate - you mention ' market efficiency '. i think the market is less efficient. you try to buy and sell 10000 lots in bond futures and it takes 2 to 3 times more to fill the order. how is that efficient. its only efficient in hft reading the order and exploiting...
