I'm short the short sellers
what do you consider small trades? i thought that if the number of shares was less than 1000 it was relatively hard to front run that. I thought most of the front running happens when mutual funds buy big.

They could let you trade 'for free forever' and your actual cost would still be very high for each trade...read that Flash Boys book...it's entertaining as well.
