So I looked around and checked out few high frequency trading technics and it seems like besides the algorithm soft the way the system is configured is that using large amount of capital (in billions) one can move the market price for a moment in ones favor (supply and demand obviously) and that the algorithmic soft is configured in the way that it enters and exits trades couple of times a second to enter move price take profit, what I am wondering about would it be possible for a retail trader to do that at the slower rate? for example take a slow time of the market with low volume and using large cap move the market 2 to 3 pips in your favor and close the trade, asking this just as a theory and the fact that algos are such a lengthy and complicated pain in the butt to write and never guaranteed the outcome

I think it is possible but you need to find a GOOD broker . Good broker dont come cheap u know . And U need to have a big capital ( millions ) if you want to play big . . All so you need to have a big balls but that is optional 😀

And of course understand what the HFT guys do. And they don't use billions to push markets around. They front run big orders.

well I thinking theres a way to play safe with that a long as you're ok loosing 1% of the account you know enter with -1% stop if it does work market moves and you take profit and if it does work the point been is that then you wont have to worry about loosing but keep a stop just in cause higher volume goes against you ...theoretically

i think in HFT 1 % is allot . i heard they do 100s of orders a second/minute 100 x 1 = 100 % . Then you all so need an algoritm who is going to guarantee you at list 2-3 pips every time . im sure you can find set ups like that and program it in to EA or something .

No you can't @DrVodka. The retail fxbrokers don't want the volume, nor can the platforms handle it. O crashes if one trader is trying to handle 100 000 trades. I've been there, got that T-shirt.

You have to be interbank with your own code written specifically to handle those volumes. That means tens to hundreds of millions and access to the various banks order books. HFT doesn't work if you can't see the order book.

HFT guys are active in FX, but not as retail traders. And it's not 100's of orders per second, it's thousands.

yes you are right I am sure they are using some kind of safety switch 5 consecutive loosing trades or something I do that if I have 3 consecutive loses for the day or loose more then 5% I stop
