Yep! It's always good for a laugh and I like how the other guys at the desk look on as if nothing is wrong.

Traders do that, it's their A** at stake!

dutch documentary on hft that aired this week, but this video is 100% english. includes ib-boss petterfly, a hft trader that blew up and gone whistle blower, and some other moderately interesting people.

Great video...Thanks.....btw, its not about a hft trader that blew up, rather its about a hft firm that blew up. This guy was CEO of that hft firm

Before high speed trading a buy side order went to a market maker who took the bid/ask diff, 25 cents or so, to handle the order, no? Now everybody is made to fight over that 25 cents. I'm not sure that the buy siders aren't better off now.
