Not surprisingly, therefore, small retail investors like you and I may often feel like the whole “game” of money is rigged, and there’s no way to win at investing. I find it ironic that algorithmic trading was first designed for smarter, longer term trading. Today, HFT trades powered by efficient algorithms can put through and complete a single buy-sell trade in 10 milliseconds;4. As computer processing speeds accelerate over time through fabulous innovations in the US, Europe and Asia, we’ll eventually hear of HFT trades or ultra-HFT trades that can be made in 1 millisecond or less! Patience is our little-guy edge that those intimidating trading machines can’t overcome because it isn’t embedded in their algorithmic programming.
