More on HFT:
Further to your comments about HFT on Friday, you might find this link to a Zero Hedge post interesting. It's titled " High Frequency Minutes": HFT Explained In 6 Short Video Clips."


The fourth video discusses "Why a runaway algorithm that wreaks havoc on volatile markets may be inevitable."

David Fuller's view Thanks for the link. I watched all of the short interviews and while most of them had a soporific effect on me, the fourth one identifies the accident risk, as you point out. I doubt that regulators have the know how, resources or personnel to effectively monitor HFT.
