The last trial to reformulate my question. Forget about the HFT. How could i execute my orders as quickly as possible as a retail trader.? suppose the execution speed sectrum from 0 to 100 and HFT on the 100 edge and retail traders from 0-10 so my question , how to get to 10? I am not...

Guys,, ... I am looking of the grey area so i am not into either: 1- playing HFT game, nor 2- competing HFT Again my strategy is not BASED on the best execution but would be less risky if i play quickly.. So, it is profitable on ANY time frame. Experts, Elites, .. What is...

Very informative story , i learned from. Thank u.. I agree, competing ' even it is relative term' is impossible with HFTers. However, i noticed that even i consider myself a retail trader but i DONOT position/swing/trend trade. So, i feel i am intermediate breed between retail traders and...

Why this forum is full of wisdom :) Ok, Sometimes you bite,, chew, digest but unfortunately you cannot absorb all nutrients without losing some good stuff :) Please specific answers

What are the package of softwares ,brokerage services and hardware " in the NON-HFT world" , that would provide: 1- highest execution speed 2-minimum calculation time POSSIBLE Thanks in advance

. my potential edge is not depending on technologies but would be affected by technologies. I think " Newbie" technology could be used to decrease risk that fortunately would be accompanied by increase profits. So, my priority is to decrease risk but i cannot say NO to increase profits...

and maybe also the speed to get into the top 10% is also highly considerable :) WOW i love this game ONLY IF IT IS A FAIR GAME "However, i doubt about its fairness !!" I think the "0-zero" latency guys throwed some microseconds latency to the public hoping and planning this would...

So the game continues , try always to be among the top 10%. :)

Thanks I understood this is code-wise solution. I learned now that a code based on limit orders will alleviate the bad effects of HFTers on the profitability. Is my understanding correct? . If so , i could see that too and i agree However, tool and resources-wise speaking, how this could...

In other words, if he wants to go towards higher profits and lower risk without using the classical HFT resources, and by only using the retail trader tools " charting, execution, brokerage, data feeds, ... etc". No Streambase, no Apama or even Marketcetera. Is it possible and how?

Hi, Tool and resource- wise, how could a retail trader utilize what he thinks " a HFT strategy"? He needs the highest execution speed possible, among other requirements, in the world of low frequency trading platforms. Or if you have any other idea , please share Thanks All...

I have figured out recently that merely charting-based trading has very little edge. so i agree with you regarding using only the charting as your method of trading. I understood that only the tick data is the most accurate representation of the market. I might be wrong but this is what i think...

:) I accept your corrections for my English. It is fair enough. However, English is my second language. Unfortunately, this wouldn't make you my PhD teacher :). My PhD subject is totally different than merely English. Regarding your analysis, it is interesting and compact and i will consider...

So, it is perfectly suits me :) thanks
