I was leaving work late on a Friday night when my Blackberry buzzed with this message: “How come you all are using people to trade instead of computers? Aren’t you kinda stuck in the Stone Age here?” High-frequency trading (HFT) is all the rage in my business and beyond. It is the...

AHA caught one. can i refer you to the algo lovers / in bed with liffe and eurex thread a few forums above the non cheating decent traders thread.

well good day to all my fellow prop traders. adapt or die. the worrying volume decline at eurex and liffe contines. flying in the face of this is rsj. whose volume on liffe is alarming, worrying on cme and now for any local / prop trader left in the market - they have just moved onto...

Split-second deals pose risk for market, players say Ian King, Deputy Business Editor High-frequency trading (HFT), the split-second stock trading strategy that has exploded in popularity this year, could pose a risk to the market, according to a poll of industry participants. HFT...

would i be correct in saying the following: (1) this was cheating? (2) effectively a free front run of an order regardless of size of time?

aha mr dogfish how are you. i agree. its a much better market. i think the bobl full tick helped. for me anyway. maybe the shatz at full tick would give the marke even more depth and substance as well. my only observation and peronal view is: yes i agree the current climate...

SORRY I APOLOGISE. THEY CREATE LIQUIDITY AND VOLUMES INCREASE. I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN A BLUR FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. EVERYTHINGS OK NOW.

A growing trend still going the same way. When will Eurex listen. Algo trading companies create no new liquidity. they destroy existing liquidity. so far i have yet to be proven wrong. ADAPT OR DIE ADAPT OR DIE

GOLDMAN SACHS WIVES HATE TO WAIT August 5, 2009 -- GOLDMAN Sachs boss Lloyd Blankfein has warned his employees to avoid high-profile spending, as The Post reported -- but his wife evidently didn't get the memo. Laura Blankfein and her friend Susan Friedman, wife of another Goldman...

HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

probably eastern european mafia money or ex russia mafia money. or goldmans. similiar group.

a growing trend now. the realisation that volume going down with an algo dominated exchange creating NO NEW LIQUIDITY will mean reversion to at least 1/2 ticks in most us treasury issues. well done the cme

yawn yawn. the section for the algo arse bandits is the automated trading section. this is the section for normal non cheating traders. do us a favour and go into that section with your algo loving posts.

anyone notice that the shatz volume is very large the last 10 trading days. my analysis is this. its bullshit. the bobl 1/2 tick is now full tick. the algos quite clearly need a 1/2 tick to operate. bobl volume has dropped and shatz volume has increased. but thats the problem...

interesting. where did you hear about their concerns?

no credit crunch in europe and no banks have any problems according to trichet

strange goings on at rsj. after an elite trader public awareness stint they alter the information on their own website statistics. not sure what thats all about. maybe they dont like the publicity regarding their monopoly of the exchange so they lowered all the percentage round turns...

im my opinion it feels better. certainly the bobl is not flitting around in a 2 and 1/2 tick blur with everything being pulled and not trading. order book seems to have more volume on bids and offers. the euribor strip seems less of a blur as well. its early days but market feels a...

well this is another issue. you are not allowed to trade with yourself. but they are as market makers. and doing the volume they are a false market is created. they are continually trading with themselves. i guestimate 80 to 90 percent of any working bid / offer is not actually...
