Did you realize that according to some estimates, the so-called high-frequency trading (HFT) makes 70% of daily volume in the U.S. market for stocks? In fact, trading in computers and HFT is to blame for the flash falls 2010.DIP ordered measures to prevent future flash drop like that one, so you can clearly see the SEC HFT as a risk to the structure of electronic trading. Do you believe that the game is rigged and there is no way to make money trading stocks? Well it's simply not true.

The process may take 5 to 10 minutes or even more! By the time the customer got his order is filled, the execution many times was very different from what he expected. Back in those days was not unusual that some people take the middle piece. Even in the period immediately before the Internet, brokerage firms could take a few minutes to make a market order and the so-called market makers can literally glide fractions of dollars as a Vegas takes VIG.

Once the internet took off and the fractions were eliminated, information on prices become more transparent and spreads between bid and ask tightened considerably.
