The whole pinging to cancel seems like it could really end up compounding into problems, it is abuse of a needed cancelation system.
What happens when it spams so much that it triggers other market reactions? (Flash crashes - which seem like it would happen more as more HFT is increased as you don't have the balance of unpredictable individual investors. HFT vs HFT only in the market, who wins?)
What effect does this have on exchange systems bandwidth / capacity / reliability?
Pretty soon every trade one makes will have to fire off 10x the fake orders to stay camouflaged. What happens when HFT DDoS the whole market with fake orders? Right now HFT is trying to fly under the radar but it could get more intense if not checked early at least with some sort of limit. A good market is a fair market, noone wants to start the race a lap back.
HFT skims now but what is in place when HFT decides to take.
