What You Don't Know About HFTs is Hurting You [Round Table Webinar]

By Kyle Bazzy — Author

We had a fantastic turn out last night as we discussed HFTs and how they affect the average investor.

I want to thank the panelists that shared their insights and knowledge with us as we attempted to break down a very complex issue affecting our market structure today.

Mani Majouri - CIO and Chief Strategist at TradeWorx
Haim Bodek - Author of The Problem of HFT
Dave Moenning - Founder of The State of the Markets

Here was the main take aways from the webinar:

Understand the difference between High Frequency Trading algo (HFT) and computer trading or algo trading.
CALL YOUR BROKER - This issue is extremely complex. Make sure that the companies/people you are trusting with your hard earned money understand the issues and are taking action. (Especially those with a fiduciary responsibility to you.)
Main Predatory Issues:

Problem stems from lack of regulation (but it seems as if some may be coming)

Lastly, and most importantly, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. If we as the people want change, then change will come. But getting educated on the topic is where we need to start.

Here are some resources that I would recommend:

Books:

Dark Pools by Scott Patterson
The Problem of HFT by Haim Bodek
Broken Markets - Sal Arnuk & Joe Saluzzi

Articles:
