Quote from Wide Tailz:

Lol

HFT is a cop out. HFT is for traders who can't make a decision so they scalp small and fast. Easiest algo on earth to program.

I bet you don't know the algo.

Quote from DT-waw:

really?
do you have any idea how "big boys" trade?
they trade without any logic, sane rules, research. most are bold, pure, delusional gamblers. see corzine. madoff, vic niederhoffer the list is endless.

there are ver, very few people who even want to trade systems.
then, from these who do maybe 1% know how to do it.

Big boys steal from fed ,they don't trade .

Isn't that crook in prison ...was it Maddoff?

Wasn't poolson profits related to fraud charges at Goldman?

What is trading?

3 bar breakout with trailing stop on minute chart = parabolic equity curve. Too easy.
