I have a PhD and I understand all those PhDs that prefer to trade than to cure cancer. As a scientist you are always at the brink of starvation jumping from contract to contract and from country to country. The trading world seems to offer certain stability or at least lots of money to buy your stability.

I spent five years trying to figure out how to trade for a living. Eventually, I honed in on a hedged options-selling strategy that returned 20% every year for three years...then I burned out from the stress of worrying about the volatility that I'm convinced is the result of algorithmic trading--enough of the quants have the same ideas, so that intraday moves are exaggerated by them all piling onto the trend. This documentary, and all of the insiders who participated, really prove what I already knew (to some extent). I can say for certain that this is no conspiracy theory, because I spent enough time trading to know that the markets are, in some ways, rigged.

For those who want to dig further into what is now known as the "order type controversy", I have posted links to the major news articles and associated media on my web page. It has been a long slog since the news first hit in early 2012! Quick Update (4/2016): Bats/ Direct Edge settled the order type allegations with the SEC in Jan 2015. It was the largest fine against an exchange in US history.

Haimâs code failed. The instant before the deal, many clients were suddenly âteleportedâ in line before him. And were serviced before him. For 12 months, Haim searched for the error in his code. There was none.
During a social event, Haim learned the real reason: his order type was "wrong". First time Haim heard about âincorrect order typesâ. Apparently, the "right" order type buys you precedence in line! Give the "right" person / agency some extra money. It's an old trick. Like bribery.
