I've wondered if introducing a small but omnipresent random delay in all trading requests might suffice. Something like 0-100 milliseconds. Just enough to moderate some of the advantage that physically co-located automated traders have, while not outright banning it.
- steveBK123 2y agoIt's an interesting idea, IEX basically did something non-random with introducing latency. A consideration is once you do this, the business model of exchanges changes a lot (they make a ton of money on colo). So they need revenue elsewhere, so maybe free retail trading goes away again, who knows.
