and that interview is i think it was one of his first on screen ok and i think you know how he felt so so you know. so you think that he is credible even though. it might raise. ok so then in terms of the f.c.c. expanding its probe what i thought was an interesting line it was pointed out to me in this article was that regulators are playing catch up do you think that is insulting to the average investors that they're playing catch up over some of these practices that have exchanges that may favor high frequency traders. would be something where you're a year behind when you're four years behind or more when people have been saying this yeah i think we need a different word ok with that word not that word. sums it up but i'm sure ok i'll choose my own adventure ok so one of these predatory practices that this was talking about is what's called queue jumping let's play it for our audience what what you describe that to be. it allows

a sophisticated trader to. actually answer you know typical institutional traders primarily who are resting on the order book happens during the price move so what i argue is that this is a corruption price time priority rules on the exchanges so is that queue jumping is that something that's widely understood to be going on and do you think that the exchanges know that it's going on and they think that's ok or is there an opinion on if the exchanges are to blame i tell you a lot of places that i've talked to people who have traded for many many years and professionals are pretty surprised that some of these order types weren't aware of them and are surprised to see that there are these different advantages and if you go on like direct edges website they have all their different order types and they have footnotes on footnotes and it's a labyrinth and so they can create they can take to different order types that look at. i'm using combining them using them together all of

a sudden allow them to do something that wasn't straightforward and probably would have been rubber stamped by the c.c. in the first place ok so so using these creative methods do you think that high frequency trading firms do have an advantage based on different order types that are available yes from everything that i've read knowing him bo derek he's a very credible person yes i believe i believe him ok and so then let's talk more about this aspect of the exchanges too because we have seen a fine for the new york stock exchange there was an in for some action. from the f.c.c. the action was because they said the new york stock exchange was sending data to the proprietary feed faster than the consolidated feed you say though according to your data that this is going on more prevalently than just with the new york stock exchange so can you tell us what to what extent and what evidence you have about sure it happens with all the exchanges and the as it happens with all the exchanges you see even though it's about this because it was in turn we told them and they

came back to us well we consolidated it is going to be a little slower because it has been you know a bunch of gobbledygook. it was in fact so they were aware of this and even some of the literature from the exchanges if you want to go to a trade show you would hear the direct feeds will give you a speed advantage. so it's actually marketed that way as giving us speed advantage credit ok so then why have we only seen a fight against the new york stock exchange if that's the case i don't know ok is that something you think that there should be more important actions i believe we will see more of them i would be shocked if we do ok because you say this is going on more widespread and this is against the rules clearly clearly ok it gives an advantage to high frequency traders absolutely because they can exploit what people sort of you are trading they'll jump ahead of you and do you see that go on when you're watching markets on your screens absolutely and we heard from from from

people who trade whenever their order goes in and it's like we got a real lot of sucker on the line and everything changes ok ok and then what about another enforcement action that we saw regulators find holder brothers which is another h.s.t. for him and they were fined for a manipulative activity known as cross market layering right ok you say this is more widespread so what is cost market layering and how much is it going on putting in quotes to lure other algorithms into buying high and selling loan when we first saw some of these patterns we couldn't believe when we later learned from holder brothers this is what was going on that algorithms would be stupid to buy one in so low within seconds and yet that is the case in the whole incident not only was it a clear example of things that we have seen exactly what the wording of the regulator said the reason this is barrett is because you cannot put in quotes that you have no intention of executing them and putting quotes in there to cause others

to believe there is activity in the stock or that there's some other interest in the stock is illegal and i'm thinking to myself ok. if you're going to enforce who's going to be trading tomorrow because wall street closed i mean it's like saying that we're going to crack down on jaywalking and everybody jaywalking. going to go to jail and it's. wait ok so you're saying that the rule that the older brothers broke that they were fined for by the f.c.c. you're saying that everybody is doing it i'm saying that it is widespread among high frequency traders only i'm saying every five seconds that occurs every trading day ok but only this is only what i have already make and i haven't seen it because the frequency of orders being placed in canceled could only be done by a machine ok wow seventeen thousand changes a second which i don't think i'm. ok so if they were fined for this i know before

you've said that the rules are on the books they just need to be enforced is that the case for these these firms that they just need to be enforced or do we need more more or new regulations obviously she said that was the best thing about the holder brothers and the i'm going to be fine with clarifying what. was exactly the things that we have been preaching for a long time and it really those events. we saw significant changes in the marketplace after those events over what kind of changes one particular order type orders used to be used not for its intended purpose and it's pretty technical but we would see certain patterns before that we don't see later ok so basically less of this manipulative activity because the important actions send a message yes ok and how many markets do you see because there are dark pools and

other areas that you might not be seeing what's going on with the dark pools don't put out what their quotes are and if you're trading against a dark pool you put in your interest i want to buy this at this price and you either get executed or not and you don't know there are no prices in the dark pool other than if you execute so nobody can nobody nobody knows about those but in terms of the markers that you watch which are. the transparent ones right you're saying that you've seen a decline in this manipulative activity absolutely ok so do we need more regulations because some people are going for that just don't stop the whole dobro this is a good first start. through ok let me let me play you a because i recently interviewed the f.t.c. commissioner bart chilton who has been outspoken in saying that we need more regulations for high frequency trading he's calling for a number of things he's calling for kill switches he's calling for these firms to register those are just a couple things he's calling for of course the actions by the second as opposed to by the day when i kind of push back about enforcement don't we just need to enforce

what's on the books he kind of said you know there might be this perception that there's a lot of wrongdoing because these algos can create volatility and maybe people and traders and market participants don't like this but it's not illegal so that's why i'm calling for more regulation and here he is continuing let's play a bit. i'm not suggesting that there haven't been h.f. to moves that have gotten around certain laws and i don't know of any specifically i see a lot of people that complain about it but when i look at what the law is and what's been done there's nothing that we've come up so far that we've talked about publicly although i will say that for the future. so what is your reaction to this he is saying that there isn't all this from doing going on we need more regulations on the books essentially because right now these things that people think are illegal on there are just annoying what about older brothers not have been fined. so so i'm so i'm saying what happened in older brothers we have hundreds of examples hundreds. of this exact right you know and we're not specifically looking

for it and i know if we specifically look for it we would find thousands upon thousands so you're saying with bart chilton tells me that regulars go through this stuff it's weird with a fine tooth comb and they're catching this stuff you're saying they're not well i know for a fact that certain agencies have asked the regulators to look at some specific examples that we've sent and they were the regular comes back and says we can't find these trades what's the sequence number and i'm not making this up ok why is that concerning for anybody that may not understand because every anyone else. being talking about baseball not knowing with or or or completions in football it's just basic there's only time probably size condition sequence number for every trade so there's five things ok if you don't know what one of those is which is the one to directly match the trade that you don't know what you're talking about never

either never looked at market data ok or you're breaking up stories oh all right well we don't know which it is but we will certainly talk more about regulators and what kind of skills and knowledge they have after the break much more of their consider founder of mannix in a moment and still ahead i moderated a panel on the post-election economy will play some highlights from the sidelines with john malden richie i'm around barry had the first closing market numbers. which was that so much there's a huge music history. when the carnage continues in gaza israel claims its own barmen of the gazans is in self-defense at the same time denying the

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are all day.

all right we are talking to eric seder founder of mannix who literally watches markets down to the nanosecond and sees all of the manipulative behavior going on by high frequency trading firms or at least some of it look that's that's kind of the evolution of high frequency trading sped up so before the break we're really focused on the u.s. now the u.s. you say is behind you say it's not even it's insulting that it's behind us so far behind that i don't even know what to call it australia just unveiled new rules for algo trading and for dark pools and they include mandatory kill switches. they want to avoid a flash crash like the us had two thousand and ten meanwhile the us is still catching up from the flash crash in years later but what about this proposal for like a kill switch because we've heard calls for that in the us and the s.e.c. call for that is that something we should have or are there unintended consequences that would make it bad well first of all that's networking want to warn the fact that we don't have them in the first place is that the whole topic we do mean you

don't know how to turn somebody off really ok the second thing is trading happens so fast now i mean we see events where a big star play games and will go two percent back in two seconds ok so you can sort of set it back in two seconds seconds and wow and this is not an isolated case i would say every day there's a couple of these big cap stocks if you're looking at a one minute charge it just looks like a bad price to it but then when you dig inside you see wow there were seven hundred troops in there one of. their own and it's very secure to see that because one day they were all just going to go at once and you know one that was going to break and then we're going to have a flash crash except this time the have to come up with a new name because it will happen in about five seconds i'm not really sure what it kills are just going to do and also there's the issue was what if there's a glitch with the kill switch i mean it's like adding another layer of complexity onto already very complex systems so who am i wrong who's going to have the book and what if you goes out for coffee he ok ok so that so you're not. fan of the kill

switch australia nonetheless it is moving forward with those plans which brings me to this issue of where the u.s. stands relative to other countries because i know you speak with officials everywhere you talk to the bank you talk to officials in the u.k. you said you talk to australian officials i know you talk to u.s. officials so is the u.s. behind other countries and how far behind well one of the differences is though that we have a very fragmented market and they don't and they're kind of so high frequency traders are finding that the low hanging fruit is gone here and so they're going over there trying to you know you need to have more multiple exchanges you need to be fragmented so that we can play this arbitrage ok wait tell me more about that so what is the what is the role of having multiple exchanges in the u.s. in terms of high frequency trading advantage lots of the games are because you have multiple places pricing the same instrument which means the systems are not running perfectly there is arbitrage opportunities and how often do the systems run perfectly never ok so there's always going to be

a genie they are pretty sure it opens and after it closes ok ok so there's all these abilities to exploit that but why is the low hanging fruit picked in the us because well first of all regulators are waking up in the cold are brothers and they would be unwise the so now the game the cat's out of the bag. leaders are waking up in our there's at least a sense that. things may change in they might start finding more people for this there's also the fact that there's going to be a winner take all model because of scaling there's going to be really one high frequency eight hundred pound gorilla involved and all the other ones are going to be trying to bring in cause trouble to get into the space so they're seeing the other markets are hey they're only have one exchange their second exchange going on we have all this you know how to exploit those different pricing differences ok and my message is always to the. other countries is. do we do you know this was

a big mistake did they take you more seriously are they more sophisticated in their knowledge of this than the u.s. regulators are we we tend to well we actually just provide a lot of facts and so they have you can actually see our work mr holding from the treasury in the u.k. you can see our work in. economic reports they use our data because we provide facts and it is sachs it's not colored one way or the other ok here in the united states our facts are somehow wrong so you say that regulators and the u.s. respond differently to these facts then regulators in other countries yes why do you think that is i don't know but it's i have heard directly from major. news outfits that the that the exchange or the regulator or both have said. we don't believe me and it's the same and that's fine you don't have to believe it

. if you don't believe that you know the sky is blue. and it is blue i don't know what's the next step how do you argue with that is as we're saying these are objective facts this is just a view of the market yes from the technical level broken down to you know very short time spans there was one specific example were an exchange. for seventeen seconds and there's this big dispute now would you like this shouldn't be an argument just the date on the seventeenth. you know you can make fools out of us. we've put no reward for anybody you can find it in that point in time and nobody's taken up until then you of all right well there you go and ultimatum there before we go there is this. article about this adultery is crazy interesting complaint. against as the. see that reads like penthouse forum meets

the insider maids keystone cops according to. account what's your reaction to this you know racial fear out yes in fact if you go through if you skip. the count he has a link to the direct complaint yeah and that complaint reads like the new york times bestseller if you get through the lurid details in the first third of it you will start to find that he sees is infested with. morley challenging. events and it gets down to mary shapiro as well and there are i think it starts around section one ninety two memory. and there is specifically the names her as being the recipient of complaints saying not being true to somebody in congress i believe her location say ok i'm reading oh right allegedly some juicy stuff in there so everybody's now going to go read that

after a few minutes we have a few more minutes or so but that is all what they're considered thank you so much for being honest founder of mannix. all right let's wrap up with loose change first idea to major here but let me recap because i moderated a panel on navigating the post-election economy it's put on by modern economics john miles and bloomberg. l.a. area and barry ritholtz gary shilling and others were all involved but here are some highlights i got to catch from the sidelines just to give you some some great tips so i asked john malden chairman of malden economics why not go off of the fiscal cliff is deficit reduction in fact according to folks like this

a video taken as to what he said. we in fact want to reduce the deficit we want to get it done or we have a surplus the real issue is how fast do we want to do that and the answer is not very fast got seven kids i don't want to see unemployment rate should have been more among the twenty and thirty somethings it's difficult enough yeah i mean we just have to go slow and steady we can't do it all at once we can't not do it we're going to have to eat our broccoli we're going to have to eat our vegetables but you know let's do it not trying to wolf it down not trying to you know push into this. or feed it to the dog we have to slowly and surely work our way. way back to fiscal sanity all right so there's has taken them bloomberg economists richemont had a really interesting anecdote about what he hears from small business owners all

over the country because he speaks to chambers of commerce and rotary clubs all over take a listen to what they tell him. but out of a five hundred audience it's fifty people coming up and saying hey you're spot on because i might have a negative first. of the economy but they're coming back saying hey you're spot on so i'm saying hey do you you hire you you're investing in expanding your businesses and they'll say no on and the fourth generation owner of one hundred year old or business on the third generation owner of a seventy five year old family business and i'm closing doors after christmas because. so small businesses shattering their doors everywhere is what he's hearing now so you can catch that whole panel if you like it molds in economics go check it out there meanwhile the fiscal cliff was in my panel it is everywhere today ben bernanke used comments urging congress to take swift action on it made headlines

tim geithner to the list at goldman sachs c.e.o. later lloyd blankfein to the list. peer group down bridgeman we want to just eliminate the debt ceiling oh absolutely. we propose that well you know this is only something only congress can solve put on itself their job is to make the country function not to it's not a winning game it's a get a long game. so everyone talking about the political wrangling treasury secretary wall street c.e.o.'s but what gets lost in all of this hubbub over the fiscal cliff is some other news items like the fact that the treasury released friday night that wall street will receive a loophole they lobbied for that exempts foreign exchange swaps from dodd frank dimitri we have thirty seconds but come on friday night not a lot of time to report on it huge loophole for wall street i think overall you know it was i wonder how much of this is just one big show the media outlets need something to run with so the elections are over now they need to really harp on the

fiscal cliff because they need to fill air time these guys are the lenders well they're you know they're the producers of the debt or the securities are so they need uncle sam to pay as they want to get rid of that ceiling because that's how we print money we put it on loan to the government so that's what gets all the play wall street get these loopholes they want and don't have any pushback that's all we have time for though you can go push back because we're going to leave it there but thank you so much for watching be sure to come back tomorrow in the meantime you know you can follow me on twitter lauren lyster go like our facebook page watch us on you tube or hulu and have a great night. and .
