HFT from a Central Bank Perspective

Recommended Posts

interesting - good find.

 

I did find it interesting that their idea of price discovery was meant to be fundamentally based and that those applying technicals or other ideas might not be welcome (a general summary)

When you think most markets need speculators to take the opposite positions to people it does make you wonder..... next time you look at the charts - have a fundamental reason why as well just to be sure! :)

I think the person nailed it - while HFT has many forms, HFT in some predatory disruptive forms will likely be banned, moderated, regulated. Trader IDs might make them more accountable and hence might be all that is needed.

Maybe they had best look at the culprits that allow this - the exchanges.

My personal view on technicals is that they (the levels) are created by opinions on fundamentals. But that's a discussion for another time!

 

When they Author lists & defines all the underhanded goings on, It really does show trading up for what it is...Swimming with sharks.

yes....but then you kind of get into the Efficient markets debate - totally unrelated to HFT and speculation......personally I am happy to be wrong in my opinion of the fundamentals but right in how i trade other opinions. :) - another thread topic.

always has been - technology has changed, the participants have changed the underlying drivers remain the same!

It has always amazed me that people in the markets often think that other participants are there as a charity - While many may end up giving that is certainly not their intention.

Stocks haven’t done anything in several days. Although this may seem like an overall neutral event, I see it as bearish. The S&P made a new intraday high while most other major indices did not. Instead of resolving this divergence with a surge higher to bring the other indices to new highs as well, the market has instead gone flat. It’s not good to reach a critical level, diverge, then go flat. In addition, there is no volume at these levels. I can’t calculate government tinkering, but on the surface, the evidence I just listed combined with the daily MACD, and other momentum indicators, rolling over and a subtle reversal candle that has held for over a week tell me the next big move in stocks should be down.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity.
