Got a question for the pros.

The guys who place and remove limit orders very quickly in futures near the last tick- is that a strategy that somehow gets them cash or are they just trying to screw up everyone else?

you're assuming those bids/offers are only related to that single instrument. Those orders are either adjusting around fairvalue (ie. market making) or part of a legging strategy, or something else.
