HFT vs Small Traders
- Thread starter emg
- Start date
Here is a little about HFT:
Firms that engage in high-frequency trading include proprietary trading desks at a small number of major investment banks (like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch), hundreds of the most secretive proprietary trading groups (like Wolverine, Renaissance Technologies, IMC and Getco) and less than 100 of the most sophisticated hedge funds. As a rule, they tend to be secretive, stealthy, smart and relatively unknown.
HFT is a mafia in the underworld of trading. Those that do not have friends working for HFT firms need to find a HFT friend. HFT firms will not published their work and trading style.

Quote from al trader:
Today, HFT dominates the markets whether in equity, etf, fx, and futures. If one doesn't know how HFT trades, one cannot win.
what an airhead assumption!!
You have no clue as to what you're talking about.
HFTs take advantage of miniscule price differentiation on sub second time frames you brainless mule.
Any pro will tell you that.
Stay above really small time frames((gen above 1 min) using pivots and the road gets much clearer on where to steer.
Only a fool would try to compete with super high speed computers in mille second time frames.

Can you explain why many lose on May 6th 2010 Flash Crash? Can you explain why many lose during the stock market crashed in 2008-2009? Finally, can you explain why the SEC is pushing to regulate HFT to protect retail traders?

That is your answer. [/QUOTE]
That answer is the myth- hocus pocus I'm talking about. You haven't answered the question. How does high computing power beat a trader that holds trades for at least 2days. To make it simple lets not even consider 2 months. Try again.
