Surely no-one here thinks the behaviour of the either the nat gas algo or the "disruptor" from the article on page 1 is a good thing on any level?

The "disrupter" is a juxtaposition of bad analysis and conspiracy theory.

If you lift the veil of confirmation bias currently slammed over your head and do some digging into real, non-Nanex/Themis, academic RESEARCH into how a market is made, then you will come to realize in fact how farsighted and uninformed you actually are about the current state of markets.

I don't have the luxury of making a distinction. Price action is not a new market phenomena. Neither are widening bid/ask spreads during times of volatility.

Keep fighting the ghost in the machine.

Best news so far.

Let's see how quick the scum are inputing their bullshit non- trades when charging is a very real possibility.

I guess the margins will be screwed too on any fills.

i've been saying this for many years,but i can repeat this statement one more time: it's seems to me that there is some relationship between entry point and winning rate. mean-hard to get into a trade-easier to win. easy to enter-not easy to make any profit. i have no system for futures,but i have plenty of tricks in my goodies bag to walk away with money every week trading stocks. having said that i have to admit that current market micro structure(HFT,internationalization,subpenny whatever) did reduce my profits(compared to previous years) roughly x5.. yes, 5 times...(confirming statement above) yadayadayada

sorry bob, i dont care how much experience you say you have, but you should have realised that fact a long, long time ago.

its common sense - good opportunities that offer superior risk - reward probability, by their very nature will not be there for long.

you gotta tbe sharp in decision and quick in actio or you miss it. training, training, training.

nothing to do with hft - everything to do with basic life survival.
