Comment on Ask HN: is algorithmic or HF trading something I could do on my own?

Comments

You are probably not going to be able to do enough volume initially to get a discount on your execution. In futures the top tier requires 10's of thousands of contracts per month, in equities you'll need to be trading millions of shares per month. It would be extremely hard to overcome this even with great algorithms.
