So... Quadracopters with chaff canisters then? My point of view: HFT provides liquidity. That's a good thing, since each buyer must find a seller, and the other way around. The side effect of liquidity is volatility. That's going to be unavoidable. The 'service' of providing liquidity is worth something to traders in a general sense, since trades can be made quickly, but the value proposition is this: They're basically playing a latency game with fast networks and finely tuned algorithms, and siphoning heaps of wealth away in the process, without providing any measure of productivity. I don't see sustainability in this practice. Following the low pass filter analogy, what happens when these firms decide they aren't happy with the profit, and they turn up the knob?
