What does that even mean? If you halt the match engine for one second, you can expect 100000 order placement requests to queue up until that second is over. And then what? If you process the whole queue and then rest another second etc., then you change the HF game only a little, the fight is now about your spot in the queue.
- jimmydef 3y agoi guess they can randomize the queue order so no one gets aan advantage by being in the queue first.
- Maxion 3y agoThere are still issues to solve. With a randomized queue order of matching trade pairs, in order for you to maximize the probability of your trade succeeding you could flood the market with buy or sell orders with price x and amount y. Though I guess you could group orders by price & amount, which would negate some of this. Per trade fees could also help mitigate it.
