thing that most intrigues me is the stuff that is just plain cheating and immoral- that is, when they buy and sell a stock to you just after you place an order with a legit broker!
that is why i rarely place an "at market" trade- the few times I have in the past few years I have never been happy with the price achieved - often i have wondered if it has been a hft that has done me over, and after reading this article it seems as plain as day!!
BUT, does a hft computer have priority to or react faster than say a comsec computer? if it does not, than maybe what I said above could be open to challenge!?
