The technology race is causing firms to spend enormous amounts of effort designing software that will beat other algo traders to a transaction by milliseconds. It's just a tool that people use; it is neither bad nor good. Where I agree with you, Midas, is that overreliance on technology like this is going to have tradeoffs; there is no such thing as a free lunch. I don't think anyone would like to go back to pink sheets and piles of paper everywhere.

No system is foolproof.
