The costs of this strategy are hidden in the trading. Every time you trade, you incur a cost. Lets say your brokerage commission is $0 - you still pay the spread when you trade and taxes when you sell. Fees for this look reasonable, but w

There is no point to being "against HFT" -- you need to support an alternative market design and explain why it would be better.

Lets say we go to a call structure. Will there be competitive pressure to go back to a continuous market? For example, lets say you demand all U.S. exchanges go to a call structure. Would there be reason for me to go to London and open up a

Yes, but what's interesting about PCA is mathematical, not algorithmic.
