Ask HN: Any engineers interested in HFT?

I currently work for an exchange and starting an algorithmic trading company has always intrigued me. Is anyone else in a similar situation?

For example, are you in an adjacent market working for somebody else and thought about going off on your own?

    I'm not interested in HFT specifically but I have been looking around for a good cheap-ish market data feed to do automated screening / analysis

    These statistical arbitrage trading strategies dont work. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Focus on creating value, and not just swaping it around.
