The Wall Street Code | VPRO documentary | 2013

2,774,062 Views • Nov 4, 2013 • Click to toggle off description
A thriller about a genius algorithm builder who dared to stand up against Wall Street. Haim Bodek, aka The Algo Arms Dealer. After Quants: the Alchemists of Wall Street and Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box. This is the final episode of a trilogy in search of the winners and losers of the tech revolution on Wall Street. Trading on the financial market is not longer dominated by humans, but by super fast computers and algorithms. The result of this digital revolution on Wall Street is a complex and fragmented financial system that is hard to understand and overseen. A system that we are all connected to. The only people who understand the system a bit, are the people who built it.

Haim Bodek started his own high frequency trading in 2007 and built a from his point of view perfect and fast algorithm. One day it just stopped working. Profits disappeared en he went looking for the cause. He decided to go public with his search to display the rotten system.

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.

Same old saying goes here: The less transparent the market and the more complicated the securities, the more money the seller is going to make on you.

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.

At ~34:15, it mentions the sheer amount of money that "evaporated" during the flash crash in 2010. Wealth does not evaporate. That wealth was transferred to the people shearing the sheep.

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.

This is why I enjoy YouTube. A video leads to another then another and then I am now watching this great documentary.

I started off with the impression of this being a very shallow and "hyped" sort of production. But then, about 15 minutes into the video, things really shifted. Very informative, concise and valuable material, thank you for making this publicly accessible! - N

Extremely well-made documentary film about the ins and outs of a tiny piece of an irreducibly complex puzzle.

Pretty odd that after superstorm Sandy, the Fed Reserve bank of NY moved their trading desk literally right nextdoor to the CME servers in Aurora... Would love to see a full audit at transaction level detail...

Haim’s code failed. The instant before the deal, many clients were suddenly “teleported” 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 “incorrect order types”. 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.

Makes me long for the good old days when pirates used swords and cannons, rather than algorithms.

The most important info is @ 48:30: That most traders live with fears. ... The stress is unbelieveable.
