Hey,
I know HFT it is not possible for retail traders that don't invest millions for colocation etc to be profitable at hft trading.

BUT still, does anyone have a code (strategy) that would work in an HFT environment on the FOREX market?

Maybe something like Triangular arbitrage, Stat. arbitrage


Any strategies that could work and someone could provide the code?

Regards

Why is everyone always like a little baby ROFL
I was just asking because I could get good servers for colo and maybe someone wants to work together.
 
Don’t know how that would work on forex. Know quite a few years back a guy got sued by forex shop because they shut him down, then he used his wife’s name to continue.

Basically their software sucked and lagged and he was arbitrating against their slow system and they just shut it down. They make money off spread and if your just taking money from them everyday they don’t want your business.

Then the rest your dealing with banks or futures. That’s big competition.

Your best bet would be make your own bucket shop.

I am not sure if it make sense to use HFT on forex as forex is slow moving.
Perhaps LFT on forex make sense.

I know, but FX is a dealer market where a lot of ECN's have built in edges for the owners.
HFT doesn't make a lot of sense if you're trading in a dark pool where the owner has last look for himself.

The strategy doesn't matter. You can trade 0+ based on book dynamics or you can snipe stale orders. Edge is in the infrastructure and the winner takes it all. Just because someone is colocated, doesn't make his strategy profitable
