The HFT market is starting to eat itself in the quest to make 25c a trade, as the number of HFT players increases. However, if you wanted to slow down that growth, then simply push the ASX to demand more transparency on stock lending practices. 1) Demand ASX that they show where the lent stock is coming from 2) Demand an opt out provision (more often than not your own stock is being lent out without your knowledge via commsec etc) 3)Demand that ASX disclose who the HFT companies are, and who is behind their ownership.
You do all that and HFT will shrink faster than the proverbial in an ice bath , assuming they dont eat themselves all up beforehand https://www.copyright link/markets/...ing-bonanza-is-over-heres-why-20180102-h0cm09
