As we build our API trading brokerage, we wanted to show something like HFT algo can be built quickly. Chatting with an ex-HFT guy, I quickly built this and put it in GitHub, so anyone can run it. 261 lines of python. Check out https://github.com/alpacahq/example-hftish for the code and a bit of explanation on medium https://medium.com/automation-generation/hft-like-trading-al...

Even if it worked before publication (which I doubt), it is now basically guaranteed not to - as HN and Reddit readers all fight over the scraps (that might not have even been there in the first place)

Thats a general critique for published trading algorithms I've ever seen millions of times, but if you kindly take a close look at it, it accepts which stock to trade as parameter, and I'm running it with some other stock than the default parameter.
