My understanding is. If it is only those POS providing their "liquidity". The "Investor" as we understand them, has no chance against the million/billions of trades a day these chumps are capable of......They care not if a stock price goes up or down, they get their rebates for making their so called "Liquidity". They contribute NOTHING, they just scalp chump change off every trade you do. Like a post I did a couple days ago, Algos scalped his trade 14 times in a mill second by the time he pushed the buy/sell button, He was ripped off/scammed 14 times, in the blink of an eye. That's not being a participant of a healthy market, that is a crook/scalper.
AS their efforts increase to scalp anything that breaths, They will kill anyone's hope of getting an honest shake in this SCAM of a market. I think they already have....... I hear everyday now, how volume is the lowest it has been in a while, since the HFTing houses popped on the scene. It is ONLY them, the very few that make the volume of the markets.
There, there is my simplistic ideas on what you seek DE,,,,,,,LOL
