    Flash traders.

    They abuse the technologies used by the stockmarket to buy and sell within milliseconds, so they can make a profit. They add absolutely nothing of value to the system, yet leech both money and talented employees from the market.

      Not at all. They are the ones who make markets efficient. Although I would consider frontrunning retail using private order flow data is bullshit.

        JFC straight from the mouth of Ken Griffin. I’m getting really fucking sick of this new wave of Lemmings who just seem to really fucking LOVE the status quo. Everything is perfectly fine and no one is suffering and nothing should ever change for the better.
