bot's, algos, hft and all things evil , page-9

Hi RossB .... A large number of retail trades are 'at market' if I was to place an at market Buy/Sell ... you don't see me coming either, the trade does not appear on the market depth, so i have no problem with that aspect.
The speed and junk lots do p@#4ss me off but that is part an parcel of trading.

20 years ago I started investing/trading it wasn't till i started to Think of it as a game about 15 years ago, that things started to really jell ... because like it or not retailers are being played. It's the nature of markets globally not just our ASX when you come to that realisation then trading is great IMO

And every time I take some profit I give myself a high 5 because I got the better of this Trillion Dollar monster with all it's BOT's,HFT and crap,

Every loss .... I find a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc helps :-)
