HP my post was not directed at you,although i'm impressed with your ability to use such a program.I'm guessing you don't pay a fee to asx for the advantage of pipes to speed up the buy/sell process.
My main issue is scale,the amount of QE /money in the system how ever you want to descibe it being used to manipulate markets but of course when these programs get their shorts or longs wrong who do they run to.I don't trust banks ability not to stuff up because of greed with various derivative trades and with so much money sitting in these banks the potential risk is massively increased and i repeat no one understand these mega banks algorithmic programs not the regulators,not the ceo's just the bankroom programer,anyway just my opinion and i repeat good luck with your program i'm impressed. And thats why we need to seperate the good banks from the more risk taking banks and on;ly guarentee the good bank deposits.If regulators can't understand it then don't guarentee it.
