Nanex CEO: ‘HFT Makes A Mockery Of Markets’
from dailybail:
High-frequency computer trading now accounts for between 70% and 84% of volume on the New York Stock Exchange, yet receives scant attention in the popular media. And with good reason: HFT represents yet another triumph of criminals
over the Rule of Law whereby the ultra-wealthy use HFT to steal from the rest of us via illegal practices like quote-stuffing andfront-running with the assistance of the government.
Call it Criminal Welfare Chic.
Below, Lauren Lyster of Capital Account interviews Eric Hunsader, whose firm Nanex gathers, analyzes, and packages exchange data that summarize high-frequency trading activity in the markets.
Hunsader has been in the data collection business since the advent of high-frequency trading in 1987—three months before the record-breaking market crash in October of that year (a record of which Hunsader has memorialized on a floppy diskette). This makes Hunsader one of the world’s leading experts—if not the leading expert–on high-frequency trading.
The CME is a $33 trillion derivatives market.
That’s the derivatives market not the stock market. The stock market deals with shares of businesses.
