Trading volume this week dried up.
Retail investors
are realizing that the markets are manipulated and retail traders are
learning that it’s difficult to compete against the High Frequency
Trading Machines. Zero Hedge
revisited the reasons that human investors and traders are leaving the
party: “The ‘what we lose in margin, we’ll make up for in volume’
strategy is failing. And for the NYSE it is failing large. The decision
to ‘enable’ HFT – for its ‘liquidity-provision’, which after all has
done nothing but expose the dismal reality of a market
structure designed to nickel-and-dime retail til the last penny drops,
has had the absolute opposite unintended consequence of driving the only
real liquidity provider – the retail trader putting his real money to work – out of the market.
