My stock broker offers a programming API. The trading fee is close to $10/order. With that price point, it seems pretty expensive to do high-frequency algo trading. Are there any much cheaper options for me to experiment with hi-freq trading? Or is it a dumb idea that I should give up? | ||

I understand what you're saying, but I think the signal:noise ratio on HN is better than most other places on the web.
Plus, there's still plenty of quality, detailed comments. For example in this thread:

The first comment I see is both the longest and highest rated. It also contains quite a lot of worthwhile information.
