Even the FBI is pursuing them after the publication of the Michael Lewis' book, Flash Boys, a true story of high frequency traders fixing sharemarkets. How the FBI is going to arrest a robot I don't know. Computers that trade at lightning speed, unsupervised, save for the algorithm programs in their software to the point they can initiate their own trades, do have the jump on everybody else. Except maybe other robo-trading computers, that is.

They see all the other orders plus announcements to and from the ASX a millisecond before everybody else - still long enough to make a killing. They can also manipulate the market with fake orders that would be illegal for a broker.
