Almost 2 yrs later, HFT continues stopping out small traders

I thought it is gong on for more like hundreds of years unless I missed the news that small investors were winning the trading game

But how else would small traders learn!?!?!

HFT is here to stay and without a doubt there will be more regulations in place to help counteract malicious trading.

It's funny how everyone's super hyped up about it NOW, the market's always been tilted in favor of the professionals. What, you don't think stock specialists, pit market makers,flow traders etc. used their proximity to the order flow to their advantage?

Hah. I was reading this whole thread thinking it started yesterday. Goes to show, nothing has changed, no matter what position on the topic you have.
