Do you have a technical background in trading/exchanges? (FYI, I have a background in trading, but not HFT or connecting to exchanges) I think we should defer somewhat to the people who provide exchange data professionally.
Don't you think the people who work with this data (and its consumers) professionally know what's fast enough to run and what's not?
Don't you think they know what behavior gets you shut down, how quickly you get shut down (and therefore how long you can game the system), and what doesn't?
I'm not saying you're explanation isn't possible/plausible, or that you're skepticism is unfounded, but I've seen you post several times about Finance/HFT and I haven't usually found your commments/assertions were very substantive.

- secretasiandan 16y agoThanks, I didn't know about his background (I had checked his profile/web pages but didn't see anything about the HFT stuff). The hilarious (perhaps stubborn) thing is that I still don't weight his information very highly.
