no front running with the U.S. brokers?
Electronic front running by algo's was invented by US brokers. They pay big bucks to have their servers closest to the exchange to see orders and get in front of them by a millionth of a second or even faster. It is so profitable,there is no need to charge commissions on trades.

U.S. brokers can't front run hundreds of thousands of orders each day, especially with all the computer trading.? You don't know what the buyer paid. Over 90% of volume is by algo's. With less than 10% being human trades, front running is easy. Scalping a fraction of a cent/share runs into $millions of dollars/day.
