So basically on an account of what I recommend of about 10k, these two strategies would have made $250k in 4 years or so. Thats a wopping 2500% on my account... should I be expecting these types of gains? Thats what worries me the most. I have built something that appears to make...

SOUTH PARK BABY

Watch at 6 we are going to open 10 points lower XD.

No move in the Nikkei Futures so not from japan. Very big spike indeed. Very strange.

Nice trading! Are you trading this parity hotspot at 4.38?

Because futures orders are filled on TIME priority. Who ever is first, gets the first fill. Because of this, when a level moves up or down, a retail trader does NOT have the speed that a firm with a computer 50 feet from the exchange, to place their bid before the big boys do. This makes it...

NICE! Hopefully I'll be doing that many shares in the future ;) . Yesterday was actually my least volume day in a while ironically! I only trade the last hour because of my school, and C basically died that last hour.

Although I agree with the parity part (It is really simple :) ), the more profitable methods for HFT are rebating faster stocks like BAC and F (and S today). I am still a beginner, so parity is still my main method, however I am incorporating the more profitable, rebating strategies as well...

alright believe what you want :p

An Example of my HFT: Today I made a profit of $96 gross on 44k shares trading S. After commission and rebates, I collected another $20, to make $116 on about 30 minutes of work at the close.

Commission are 0.005 at his rate (over 1million shares a day).

lol you know, I LOVE how people hate HFTraders yet all we are doing is capitalizing on market opportunity JUST LIKE EVERY TRADER IS AS WELL. We've found a consistent, reliable method. I used to hate High Frequency Trading until I became a High Frequency Trader. Haters 'll hate.

That is Affinity Trading Group, the firm I trade with! :D

R.I.P. Citi, I'll miss you :p

I HFT trade stocks such as C (sad its going to go away) with a small firm who does about 20million shares on C and BAC on a good day. No computer trading involved, all human. A computer cant react to the conflicting signals the different routes have. Only a human can feel the routes and fills.

There are two types of scalping. 1. Directional scalping. This is when you trade a highly volatile instrument like crude oil (CL) and you try to profit say 5 cents a trade. Your average time in the market trading like this can be anywhere from 1-200 seconds usually, as oil can move 5 cents in...

Hey Everyone, Its been about a week since my last post, so I just wanted to give an update. Once again I will NOT be trading any futures UNTIL I get my fast computer back. I do not want to take the risk of my computer crashing etc. I did rebate trade this week, and made a good...
