Do you know how I can get access to flash orders? Is it only reserved for large banks or is it included in the regular ECN feed they send to various trading software (sterling/lighspeed/anvil).
Thank you

I should say it can be profitable, but not attractive enough to most large players. put it this way - no globally leading fund or bank makes money from HF without flash orders or other form of front running. if you disagree, go get some real life experiences of working at one.
rufus has worked as a quant on investment bank desks doing exactly that and now runs his own shop. you're in way over your head here son.
ever heard of market making? cuz big banks don't do any of that stuff rgt? spreads are for the peons.
anyway, i concur... you have know idea what you're talking about. you sound like an ex-clerk who overheard enough ignorant conversations to be dangerous.

LOL, read: Cheap, and their brains can be baffled by the bullshit from above.
Agreed with garbageman's post above.
They are after smart people who are driven by solving difficult problems - most of the time - you do occasionally get physics PhDs getting paid pitiful amounts and scrubbing data in some of these places for phuck's sakes! Not people who are passionate about finance. There's a good reason why they want them young and green and not phynancial.
absolutely true. they dont have any idea how much they are really worth. they could easily leave and do everything themselves if they had the money
