"The typical high frequency firm, he added, is likely to have about $5 million in proprietary capital and trade a few million shares a day through a specialized brokerage firm like Lime or Wedbush Securities." It makes me wonder how they do this on such a small amount of required capital, I guess margin requirements for these firms are pretty nonexistent. dealmakr

In the future please don't quote that source's articles in their entirety. They have contacted me about it. The link is given, which is definitely appreciated and proper netiquette, but good netiquette, especially when dealing with such a large article that was obviously a lot of work, dictates that we copy, at most, the most relevant excerpts, which encourage the reader to become a valuable pageview on the owner's website. Thank you. Bob Z.
