Talk about giving us a fair shake. High Frequency Trading is FRAUD. Taking advantages of loopholes and just another example of morale ethics.
Allow us to level set with what it is.
High-frequency trading (HFT) is the use of sophisticated technological tools and computer algorithms to trade securities on a rapid basis. HFT usually uses proprietary trading strategies that are carried out by computers. Unlike regular investing, an investment position in HFT may be held for only seconds, or fractions of a second (though sometimes it may extend to longer), with the computer trading in and out of positions thousands or tens of thousands of times a day.
HFT was the cause of the Flash Crash May 6 2010. HFT was the cause of the crash last week.
Where is the SEC and all the other regulators??
