- auntienomen 7y agoPerhaps you don't follow the news? This was a quarter rich in sudden market shifts.
- amiga_500 7y agoThanks, I do follow the news. If you read the threads above again you will see that both posters are fully aware of elevated volume, and the distinction was between HFT melting away during short periods of vol and wider "liquidity" from HFT. So what seemed like a quick drive by wasn't actually correct.
