I don't think the exchanges are trying to catch up. They know exactly what is going on because they created these order types to bring in volume from the fast traders. Exchanges and Reg NMS are the...

Granted I am half asleep, but I think both of you guys are right.

First. The institution seems to be a complete dummy by sending a non-routable order at $22.02. When they took the 1000 off that...

Thanks artemiso for your time! I love reading intelligent threads about HFT that aren't focused on bashing it.

I don't think retail is the main target of HFTs. So, if they disappear, I don't think they'll be hurting.

Turns out. It is reporting 0 when running a backtest. But when running real time, it reports properly.

Would anyone know how to get this to report properly in a backtest? I'm stumped.
