AND cannot be controlled AND is fundamentally unfair to those who are forced to
occasionally trade due to 401k, etc. It's a market manipulation tool for those
who have access to location and resources. Must be stopped.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It occurred to me the first time HFT came to my attention that the way to neuter
the problem would be to have a higher Very Short Term Capital Gains tax rate in
addition to the Short & Long term rates. For example 15% if held more than
a year, 20% if held less than that and 35% if held less than 24 hours.
It wouldn't stop HFT altogether but it would greatly reduce the amount of it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Letting computers cancel orders is the problem, not HFT. Void that hability and
the important problems will all go away.
(Of course, instability won't. But we only have that amount of instability now
because exchanges will cancel the orders of the big players when they lose big.
Again it is not HFT; make everybody play by the same rules, and the problems go
away.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And control theory says that this type of system will ALWAYS
be unstable. It's just a matter of when. Positive feedback
is just not very nice.
BTW, after I got out of a real controls company, and started
working with some HVAC stuff, I can tell you that there is a
reason why your office is never the right temperature. It is
designed to not work properly. It will always be unstable,
and will usually not be on setpoint. The fancier the type of
HVAC system, the worse it works, or the higher the cost of
the energy needed to run it.

It's the people that are the problem not HFT per se.
Is like guns and bullets, it still takes a people to pull the trigger.
Blame the peoples.
