i trade financial futures and cash equity. i realize ibanks offer leveraged bets on all kinds of nonsense to provide a "service", but pretty much any strategy known to humanity can be achieved on an exchange with negligible count

yeah, i really don't know what these guys are talking about. the business day to day has been massively revamped by automation. there are hft ops that are blasting millions and millions of orders a second and probably account for 70%

would you like to earn -80 bps on some german schatz?
