I described the canonical front-running example in my first comment, as it gives most non-finance readers a quick overview of how HFTs work, without needing to describe regulations, strategies, NBBO, SIP, etc. The specific strategy currentl

Did the proposed package actually happen? There seem to be no follow-up articles about it. If the CCP wanted to hide it, $140bn would still represent ~1% of their GDP, so there should be some pretty obvious markers indicating that it went t

I think pretty much 100% of companies just use the online portals provided by the tax software vendors. Companies without direct access to the internet just file their VAT via their accountant, or manually file them through physical mail.
