Completely understand why HFT must exist

Quote from Occam:

Fischer Black also came up with a system that did not involve market makers, a bid, or an ask. The downside is that you don't know what price you'll get and/or how long your order will take to fill (I don't remember whether it was "and" or "or" in the prior sentence, but that's not important). The problem, of course, is this is not what people want in a liquid capital market.

Your own "technologies" also will have major downsides, probably significant enough to make them less appealing than the status quo to the majority of investors/investees. If you think you've got something as great as you imply, then publish your work in the Journal of Finance or somewhere on the Internet for academic critique.

Fischer Black didn't want to give people a hint about the market price before they traded, and I will.

Profit=net profit?

That's why HFT must exist?


Ummm..... I think there needs to be a little bit more explanation, nitro, <i>maybe try more than 5 sentences than your usual <b>outpost everyone at all costs and make extremely frequent short posts</b> posts.</i>

Again, <b>how about 5 sentences of your own that explains the point you're trying to make?</b>

Is it that you are afraid of typing more information than you understand so you don't want to look like an uneducated idiot?

Come on, nitro! At least say something worthwhile than that you are fasciated by subset-sum problems in computer sciences and mathematics.

If you need inspiration, why don't you try the question: what does p=np problems have to do with HFT?

You seem to be trying to make the connection but haven't explained why.

5 sentences, please.

You can change your ignore list at any time.

Ignoring me is like ignoring the professor in the class and you'll never get an A that way.
