For an individual - HFT isn't all that accessible. Fees gonna kill ya. But yeah - you just zoom out a little bit and work from there.

- OJFord 4y agoWell, latency/capital required to lower it gonna kill ya too. Fees are an issue like the blinds in a pro poker game that you don't have the access to our buy-in for either.
- boshalfoshal 4y agofwiw, med/long term strategies are consideribly more difficult than HFT. Also, depending on the product (options, treasuries, etc.) most firms still have traders to manage strategies. For example, the top Options MM firms (CitSec, SIG, Jane Street, IMC, Optiver...) all have traders. Pure play algos is once again, consideribly harder (for certain products). I still think theres alpha, but I don't think it would be from off the shelf methods that some random youtube trading guru talks about.
