The Wall Street Code video

[J-Trade]

Forgive me if this has already been posted, but I found it very interesting. The commentary is in Dutch - it's a Dutch-made documentary - but all the interviews are in English (inc. with the founder of Interactive Brokers) :

LOL so sensationalized. They make it seem like HFT is super complex/shady. Entertaining but provides no info at all.

of course it was GS,who else..i was always saying-it's not crash, the money ,the wealth was not just 'evaporated', as media is selling it to the public. it was biggest and quickest wealth TRANSFER in a history of the markets. could be planned by GS. this is why no one want to talk about it and commission after 2 years come up with nothing. this is why SEC is busting trades at some ridiculous levels i never heard of. this is why so many trades stand. the SEC is not your friend an any case in today's markets.you don't have to be genius or hft guru to figure this out. you have to be a practitioner,who trade a lot. and it will happen again.
