im curious how much advantage the trading institutions actually have on retail

im assuming they have access to massive amounts of data and massive amounts of processing power to run predictive algos
and stuff like network analysis

is tracking network traffic to exchanges and company pages and other stuff is it legal( im assuming most traffic now is encrypted for that reason?)
what is illegal when it comes to institutional analytics?
like what can they have access to and what they cant?

I suspect many companies like Blackrock,
Bridgewater and Goldman Sachs probably
use proprietary technology/analytics not
readily available to public scrutiny.
 
The analytical tools, access to deep fundamental research, and technology stack are the primary advantages. Most retail traders are random and just guess using lines on a chart without understand the factors that drive their returns.
 
institutions: infrastructure, credit lines, market making on a number of asset classes, fees if they sell something

retail: think they run predictive algos

what would tracking traffic to a page or exchange offer?
 
The biggest advantages are the added liquidity due to facilitation and access to upstairs markets. Economies of scale to build tools or buy institutional tools. Most of the tools relate to derivatives trading. Access to world markets 24/7. You get shown more IPOs and Converts. Access to the knowledge on the upstairs desk. There is also a disadvantage of higher costs to trade.
