The HFT needs latency low enough to win a race against B.
- nickbauman 6y agoThanks, that's what I thought.
- cltby 6y agoIf HFT and B are racing for the same order, they evidently have a very similar trading objective. In which case it's bizarre to ascribe some uniquely negative social value to HFT winning that race.
- erik_seaberg 6y agoThe HFT doesn’t want a position, it’s only trading because it anticipates what B is doing right now and adding cost to the process without improving the result.
