Can somebody explain to me how this HFT stuff works? I mean...is there a stock exchange API? (That is a joke).<p>Aren't there actual real people executing these trades or is it really just computers?<p>If the latter...WTF!? D-:<p>Any links that explain this?
why are traders complaining about clearly mispriced stocks? if you see P&G fall 40% on NO NEWS, there's a good chance that you're about to make a bunch of money, because the stock is going to rebound.<p>old school uncomputerized trading shops like Themis get their asses handed to them by faster, smarter algorithm developers, and have no choice but to get regulators to bail them out.
