I think Goldman probably sabotaged it somehow.....they don't want people knowing about
HFTs ...
What pity I was really interested to understand something about this topic

The way I knew an
HFT got me is I only traded in round
lots of 100. My fills would come back 99 and 1.
HFTs fish for orders by stuffing the quote servers with 1 share orders. They would tag my order for that 1 share and that meant my other 99 would have to be routed to the odd lot server and come back with a fill 3 to 5 cents worse than the 1 share fill. I had one come back with .15 difference. The HFT stole my fill. I was doing slingshot arbitrage off the opens and 5 to ten cents was my target
range . I finally gave up on it.
Just so I understand. You placed a limit order and 99 shares of the 100 order got filled several cents against you? If so, sounds like you should change brokers.

I agree. But reading through again I suspect he wasn't using limit orders.

Why do you have to make the prize giving so competitive. Some of us are are are a bit slower thinking and typing.
Are we not worthy also?. I can't even get an answer in before you call a halt. yes even with multiple prizes. I'm giving up watching live.It's sunny out.
