High Frequency Trading is a fraudulent and deceptive stock trading practice that allows a small population of banks and hedge funds to front-run trades and skim an obscene amount of money from average investors.
We, the petitioners, demand 1) that legislation be introduced to ban this unfair and fraudulent practice, and 2) that the Justice Department be directed to investigate all bad actors for collusion and fraud so that all victims might be compensated for their losses.
Stock exchanges are selling space in their datacenters and offering special order types to select market participants for the sole purpose of providing previews into the trading activity of others. This collusion between the exchanges and the banks/hedge funds must be stopped immediately and prosecuted vigorously.
