So you have to fight with something you don't understand. :)

So it's clearly written there that most LPs are in the same place, i.e. the problem is not the execution but the forecast horizon, as on a small horizon there is a lot of pressure from other HFT bots at a much higher level.

Either someone is working faster and you are only getting the tails.)

and you'd better write about the point he was wrong about.

Aren't LPs on cross-connects?

You'd better write about his thesis that he's wrong.

I don't know it. Do you know it? Do you know it for sure? Prove it and I'll believe you.
