on a lucid explanation of high frequency trading:
“Here's an interview that covers the recent Facebook IPO and the many oddities that featured that day. High Frequency Trading features heavily and many myths about HFT are dispelled, and not to the credit of the industry. I will admit a lot of it went over my head. It's quite a detailed and technical review, but once again, might be of some interest.”

Eoin Treacy's view Thank you for this highly education interview of Erik Hunsader by Erik Townsend for Jim Puplava's Financial Sense service. This is the best explanation of the risks posed by unregulated high frequency trading I have seen and I strongly recommend setting aside the 56 minutes needed to listen to it for anyone interested in this subject.
