"The HFT strategy of placing and then cancelling orders to gain an information advantage". To place an order with no intent to trade is 10% illegal as per exchange rules. There you have it, HFT's freely admitting their whole game is based on breaking the rules and cheating. What a effing...

My apologies, because I know the market is rigged up, I will go long 24 hours a day based on this, as per your advice, quite possibly like you did in 07 and 08 and were crying about financial 'terrorists' slamming the market down like Jim Cramer did. Did you beg the SEC for more rules against...

You are absolutely, undeniably correct with what you say here. Try not to let it effect you as much as it does, but do not forget that YOU are right and these people are WRONG. I imagine these people have never seen a Level 2 order book or trading ladder in their lives. Otherwise they would...

LOL. So you are saying the market is not rigged yet claim that you know for a fact at times you can hold up the market for a whole day and create the daily low.?!?!?!? That'll kinda effect a lot of traders don't you think? Everyone that doesn't hold overnight positions.... which is about 98%...

Because basing trading on perceived instances of manipulation or betting on something being rigged is quite possibly the most retarded trading strategy of all time.

First off, I can prove, without any shadow of any doubt that some HFT's are illegally insider trading and by that I mean yes THEY DO HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR DATA AND ORDER BOOK. Think about it, you need a computer to front run some of these manual traders anyway, you would be too slow if you tried...

Good plan, would work most of the time. You'd make a bit here, a bit there, but what happens when the blip isn't a 'flash crash' and say, God forbid, Al Qaeda sent a nuclear bomb to the west coast? Well, you would be filled long at 5 or 10% lower than the market price when the event came...

Funny how your accusation of people who are against HFT's as being bad traders is the HFT's catch-all excuse for their illegal activity.

Mate you dont really have a clue about trading, especially if you think there is plenty of volume out there. There is nothing wrong or manipulative about selling 10% of the daily volume in 2 seconds. That's just entering a big short position and putting your balls on the line. How does it...

I'm as much against HFT's as anybody, but how is this manipulation? Selling stock at the market is now manipulation???!?!?! No wonder there is no volume going through when even people who are hitting market are being accused of being crooks.

I can sum up the benefits of education in this industry in the following lines: ........ ................... ............................. :D You get my drift! Stop wasting your time and go make some money:)

I lost $50,000 betting on Greece to lose the European Championship of soccer. The plate smashers ended up winning it! True story, had to take out a loan to cover the loss.

Hahahahha, your not for real are you? You lot actually believe there is a market on this planet that is untouched by these vermin? muwahahhaha. Hilarious!

I'd agree and say most daytraders are dying off from what I've seen. I mean when there is no volatility it drives daytarders away and there is always a lack of interest, but I think these times are different because of the HFT's frontrunning and insider trading. It has simply made a lot of...

Only the weak get addicted to anything, whether that be trading, smoking, alcohol or drugs. Is trading addictive? NO, but it can be enthralling, not that we've had much to enthrall over lately with the equity charts flatlining.

No, you do not understand properly what they are doing. The best way to explain it is as follows: HFT's are trading on Eurex at the same speed as those trading on CME or LIFFE. They are that much quicker ... ILLEGALLY. I do not have the option to trade Eurex that fast, it's not available...

Whatever made you think it's not happening in futures markets?? Of course it is, it's just harder to see because they are more liquid. That's all.

If that's true and i have no reason to believe it is not, the HFT's doing this are INSIDER TRADING. If you find out who they are, make sure you put them in jail. I'm not sure but I think you can pay for the data to see exactly who is doing this if you have a fair legal claim to do so. If your...

I do have a way to get around HFT's manipulating the market up .... I GO LONG :)

He's been order stuffed to OBLIVION!!!:D. My advice buddy is forget conventional trading, ie charts, fundamental analysis etc and concentrate on how HFTs manipulate 24/7 and work around that. Best of Luck. JJ PS HFT nerds I only put one bid order.... to buy at 1122.25. How many...
