In a millionth of a second? This a rationalization for something that is only being done because it can be done.

When I press the buy and sell button, I want the transaction to happen as quickly as possible. So does everyone else. My millionth of a second is different than yours, and everyone else’s. It is no different than buying or selling anything else. And there is no loss from the additional liquidity, you can easily set a limit at which you want to buy or sell.

Nope, not me. I don't mind if it takes like 20 seconds or so.

The issue isn't that there's a lot of change coming from inside the markets, it's that there's a lot of change coming from outside the market, and it's all interconnected.

I think you are letting your "speculation is bad" bias interfere with your understanding of dynamical systems.

Each exchange can make its own rules for what it will list and how it will trade (within the broader SEC regulations). So yes it’s just a way to capture fees from listers who like your exchange better as the primary listing exchange and from market participants that must be in every exchange (latency sensitive HFT). None of the many exchanges that have started have made a dent in the existing duopoly for real share l…

This sounds like the sort of "norms" thing that a GOP-leaning state would abuse to circumvent SEC regulations by somehow declaring a state-owned exchange as some sort of SEZ to allow unregulated exchange between domestic and (primarily) foreign entities.

Texas is famously fraud friendly as well

I think you're hallucinating something I didn't say to avoid confronting what I did say.

Also what's the difference between a system, a dynamic system and a 'dynamical' system?

> DEI protections Forgive my ignorance, but what does that mean in this context?

I don't think the NYSE had any DEI requirements, but the NASDAQ created a rule where boards needed some minority representation in order to be listed. That rule was challenged and overturned in court though. > On August 6, 2021, the SEC approved Nasdaq’s proposed diversity rule for companies listed on its exchange. The rule required Nasdaq-listed companies to (1) publicly disclose board-level demographic data annuall…

Sounds illegal, no wonder the courts tossed it.

No it isn't.

Your monitor refresh is about 16,000 times slower so you aren't going to know.

The only reason you need something faster is because you think you have to compete with other people trading on microseconds.

If matches happened at 1 second intervals you wouldn't have to worry about it at all.

So in other words, healthy competition, and may the best man win. Contrary to many comments this is more than political reaction/posturing. The state of Texas is the world's 8th largest GDP and a diverse one, with no one sector exceeding 9%. Texas is well-positioned relative to NYC for attention around AI, as it is not geographically constrained and has an energy advantage. There is financial credibility built in as…

The most insightful part of your comment was that you needed a throwaway account to preserve your HN social credit score to take a completely moderate and constructive position.

This is tinfoil hat conspiracy thinking.

Right. Just like all the autocratic Project 2025 plans, defunding healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires, sending US military to police US cities, and all the other current actions were " tinfoil hat conspiracy thinking". There is a party actively committed to implementing autocracy as fast as it can. To willfully ignore that and attempt to deflect from it as you are doing is wrong. Moreover, if you don't thin…

Moved on from the fascist rhetoric I see.

Which is fine! You can probably find a broker who will give you fee-free trading with that preference. The price you execute at won’t be as good. But unless you’re trading millions, that’s probably fine.

This is nonsense. There is still advantage to submitting your trade as close to that settlement deadline as possible.
