How convenient that you left out the High Frequency part.

The part where they jump in front of everyone Else's trades before they are placed and steal a part of those other peoples trades right off the top. Yes- that is Theft!

What defines high frequency?

If I trade 1 hour before you, is that ok?

How about 1 minute? 1 Second? Millisecond? Nanosecond?

The same information that enables an HFT algo to get ahead of you in the market is also available to you.

You just don't have the several hundred thousand dollars per year to invest to get it.

You gotta pay to play.
