I imagined I was day trading from home, and all my competition was other traders, people with big accounts and small accounts, retail traders like me and institutional traders, but no High Frequency Trading machines.

I imaged a High Frequency Trading system to be like a card counting computer that remembered every card played, where I could only keep track of maybe 10 or so in my head.

I am really concerned about these HFTs, and their impact on markets, and they are like an enigma to me.

What do you think? Am I being silly, I think I am.
