Are You Faster Than A Stock Market Spoofer?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Think you too could "Sarao" the markets? Step right up and test your 'spoofing' skills...

As an "old school point'n'click prop trader" he managed to set and cancel thousands of trades in milliseconds.

If you can't beat 20ms, then every HFT shop just front-ran you and executed your 'test' trade...

It appears 'humans' are not capable of that?

 

The average (median) reaction time is 215 milliseconds, according to the data collected so far - so just 10x slower than the current rate of cancels in the computer-dominated "stock market."

I wonder how many milliseconds the latency of my wireless keyboard adds, to the latency of my antique 20mbs European DSL internet connection, to the latency of the 4000 mile trip to NYC, just to finally compete with that co-located algo.

Wow ... I hadn't thought of that ... I'm giving up since my average made the 27th percentile. But, I'm gld to know it's latency.  Maybe that's what wrong with my trading and not poor choices

try being stuck in the hinterland with dial up and compete.  I remember when George Bush said 'every household in America will have High Speed by 2,000".  I now put that promise with the check in the mail and I won't ...well to late now anyway.

't's ok, you just have to time travel abit in the past. Say 2-300ms or so, not much.

 

don't worry, everyone can do that. It's that easy to beat those algos.

All the big HFT's are within a few miles of the trading computer and have direct, dedicated hard lines. It's not cheating if your writing the rule book....

And of course, co-located servers with laser connections are permitted/allowed/encouraged by the NYSE et al, making the exchange(s) an accessory(s) to the crime(s).

yes, and they can't front run a declining market without crashing it so that's another reason why it can't be allowed to go down ever.

Just use you intution to make the trade before they do.  Nevermind.

You will not convince the convinced, because they are convinced. New American Century.

So why are there no cries from Ben or Janet or the SEC or Congress to end it all? Why? Because the market keeps going up, and greed is too powerful. They will never kill the goose that is laying the golden egg. If they crash the markets, there will be loud cries for a few days, then silence again. The oligarchs own the country and the HFT algo machines...they get what they want, so long as the primary direction remains up. This will never change....
