Hi Bob:

By looking at the NYSE statistics for program trading from 1999 to the present, you can get an idea. The NYSE provides a .pdf file for each period that breaks the data down a bit and whether it is for member firms, etc. You can see the action of the top 15 member firms on their own, etc.

I view the increase in program trading since 1999 as the difference between a purely competitive market and an oligopoly. Its not a perfect comparison but I think it gets the general idea across. If one wants to go for a swim, its best to know who is in the water with you.
