just an ad for those pimps at lime, who are trying to suck in as many fools as possible before they get shut down

I actually think that it's too late to get into the HFT game - it's getting arbed too much and the returns are really coming off the past several months.

Well one of the bigger HFT firms, TradeBot, started with 10k in a 1 bedroom apt. in Kansas

Well, Lime is owned by Tower Research Capital. The clients are subsidizing their own slippage on HFT - if they can arb it to zero plus a very, very small fraction, how is Joe Schmo going to do it?

What a ridiculous article. You need at LEAST a weekend course to learn HFT or a meet up with friends in NYC.
