Interesting. I knew a guy that was on the trading floor in 1987.

"I only knew one person when it was Knight-Trimark, they were well funded and I think he was in the Westchester County, New York office. And I know he shorted into my order flow. And once I squeezed him on a stock and pissed off. But then again, I knew my orderflow, he did not. I knew how to trade the orders and trade around him. His name was Andrew."

Crazy shit back then.

Most of my back ground is science and engineering, biochemical and patents.

I came real close to taking a start up of mine public 20 years ago.

I am so glad I did not. Just not worth the headache.

Yah know, every firm is audited

I would not want to get caught tweaking software or servers



But what is there to audit? The "tweaking" is easy enough. Change the daily heuristic weights into the computer. Which in turn changes the bias of the computer program to sell/buy a given stock. While electronically plugged into the look ahead order book. The humans having plugged in the weights, then go on coffee break.
