No, that's not what he's saying. But aside from that: the reason orders you place won't be matched on any market at NYSE, let alone a special one, is that HFT market makers will give you a price break to route your dumb order to them so they can collect their tiny spread from your trade without worrying that you're a hedge fund about to steamroll them with a giant block order.

Who is subsidizing the HFT market makers so that they can undercut the rest of the market on their private exchanges?

This is like a question from a markov generator. I won't try to answer it.

Some help:
>is that HFT market makers will give you a price break to route your dumb order to them
You claim a price break on a private exchange. How can they (HFT market makers) deliver a better price than the public exchange? Presumably they cannot have bought it on the public market at the better price, so some party must absorb the loss on the price break.
My question can now be translated to:
Who absorbs the loss from the price break?
