Flash Trading Drives Profits, Unseating Established Competitors

As an AMTD customer, this actually works to your favor. They are not allowed to take a fill that is worse than the national best bid or offer. So if one of these parties can execute at a better price than you will immediately be filled. Otherwise it goes out to the entire market.

Since I'm NOT an ameritrade customer I should be complaining :-)
