Not sure how HFT affects orders place with otm limit price. HFT can front run all they want, a limit price order will only be filled when matched. IMO institutional orders are placed at market. Any ET members use market order?

I ALWAYS use marketorders. Never want to miss a signal as it has a negative influence on my stats and probalities of making money.
Good for you. Unless you place large quantity orders, you're most likely ignored by HFT. I guess you're a day trader, do you make any money trading?
I daytrade the ES so there is more then enough volume available to get good fills in a short time.
The purpose is indeed to make consistently money. I survive already 2 decades so no reason to complain.
I do some times SPY is very liquid and deep, 1500 share orders get filled quickly and it is a drop in the bucket in that market.
False. Trading is a negative sum game.
Markets are certainly not rigged. --In any event, the point is moot. --Just as it is in the case of the PPT argument.
1500 shares is peanuts, you'er front run an you don't even know it...
