Similarly, I spent 8 years building research and production trading infrastructure for a trading firm. The quality of data, tools, and trading execution infrastructure produced for these purposes was so far ahead of anything I could access without building my own HFT firm that I resolved to find myself on the other end of their trades as infrequently as humanly possible. I'm definitely the dumb money in the market, trading on stone age tools by comparison.
