Can you do HFT without a privileged connection to the trading system that beats most of the market players in access time? No.
TL;DNR: You keep ignoring both the point of the comments and the point of the TFA. This is about market prediction, not technical exploitation of a privileged access to market.

- jbmorgado 10y agoI'm not sure if you have some kind of cognitive impairment, that you still didn't get the point after I explained it 5 times already, so I'll explain it yet again as simply as possible: If you buy a co-located rack space you are using a PRIVILEGED CONNECTION to the market that and taking advantage of that using some algorithm: That's High Frequency Trading. The all point of TFA and the comments was the OPPOSITE: To be in a NON PRIVILEGED position (as in, the same access time to market transactions as the median of the access time to market of EVERYONE ELSE) and to use machine learning to predict market moves in a long enough term so that the market access time was irrelevant. Do you understand the complete difference between the two scenarios now?
- digler999 10y agocalm down. anyone privileged enough to buy stocks is also privileged enough to buy colocated rack space. so yes, it's "privileged", just like everyone else.
