Good read, all markets taken over by HFT... pointsandfigures.com Electronic trading in thinly traded commodities is a total bust. Markets like cocoa, coffee, hogs, cattle, oats, rice, and natural gas have been destroyed by electronic trading. The problem is that there is no actual volume on the bid/ask spread. This hurts hedgers. They pay more for their risk management. They are leaving the market. The volatility and moves are just too violent to use the listed futures markets as an efficient vehicle for hedging.
