OT - In an institution the traders design the ideas and the statisticians design the mathematics of the market to fulfil the best possible orders for the institution. A bot is not there to shake out retail, retail only makes up 5% of the market who even cares about that when you're an insto they have much deeper pockets than that. Bots are designed to make the market to protect the insto's position so they are simply making the best possible market for themselves. Whoever controls the liquidity wins.
