Isn't the barrier to HFT the fact that you need enough capital so that your profits cover the cost of co-located servers and FPGAs in the exchange datacenter, without which you have a latency handicap? (in addition to, of course, coming up with good algorithms)
- zygomega 14y agoYes, if the only edge you have is speed. But a good algorithm may well be the next battleground as the benefits of ultra-low latency reduce.
