Quote from stock777:
theres a diff tween a middleman and a plunderer.
theres a diff tween a middleman and a blackmailer.
theres a diff tween a middleman and an extortionist.
is everyone here an idiot?
I don't see HFT as blackmailers or extortionists. Have any of them ever threatened to release photos of you with that 10 year old boy in bed or to break your legs?
As for being plunderers, so is every other successful trader.
I feel confident that if stock777 had the gumption to create his own colocated high frequency trading bot that he'd be happy to use it and rake in money.
