Sweet. If the 50ms rule goes into effect HFT traders could conceivably be set up anywhere in the US, no?

  They already can be. Tradebot lives in Kansas City, for example.

    At the moment, you're at a serious disadvantage if you're not across the street from the Exchange due to latency (obviously).

      You're at a serious disadvantage if your server is not across the street, it's true. That actually wouldn't change with a 50ms rule. You still want your order in the queue before the other guy, even if he can't pull his order for 50ms.

        Right, sorry for not making that distinction. That is what I meant, but the latency between brain and fingers is under some delay :)
