Weird to single out HFT's. Isn't everyone working from home right now?

Especially since, in times of market turmoil, HFT's are an important market participant. Someone needs to catch the knives.

Also they're probably having their most profitable periods since 2008, so I'd imagine there's a lot of incentive (for employees and owners) to keep trading whenever possible.

“That” in parent comment is being sequestered at work, so the opposite of working from home.
