Quote from luckybastard:
* If an interesting bid gets placed in the public markets, their automated algo's on their colocated machines have hit it within a few MICRO seconds, even before your broker has transmitted the quote to you.
This strategy is not for retail traders. But it does not mean that this is the only one out there. You are in some sense like those lawmakers whose thinking does not go beyond 1 single strategy for all: buying stocks for long-term and getting a real job to pay the bills. By the way I am just curious what those options professional traders are going to do if they will have to pay the transaction tax?
Come on, use common sense. If a system works, they wont have to sell it on the internet.
