The Wall Street Code - (vpro backlight documentary - 2013)

A thriller about a genius algorithm builder who dared to stand up against Wall Street. Haim Bodek, aka The Algo Arms Dealer. After Quants: the Alchemists of Wall Street and Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box. This is the final episode of a trilogy in search of the winners and losers of the tech revolution on Wall Street. Trading on the financial market is not longer dominated by humans, but by super fast computers and algorithms. The result of this digital revolution on Wall Street is a complex and fragmented financial system that is hard to understand and overseen. A system that we are all connected to. The only people who understand the system a bit, are the people who built it. Haim Bodek started his own high frequency trading in 2007 and built a from his point of view perfect and fast algorithm. One day it just stopped working. Profits disappeared en he went looking for the cause. He decided to go public with his search to display the rotten system.

1. Ahahha
2. This guy Bodek looks like he doesn't know a damn thing about finance. At 10:34 he admits it. Maybe that's his real problem.
   
   There is no such thing as order types that don't go through. Some brokerages have better lag times but the market is not controlled by single participants. That completely contradicts the US market being the most liquid market in the world with millions of participants.

16. Thank you for this. Genius. I think it was the one percent...Walmart family...who sold and caused a crash/trend...or someone with equal and more power owning enough shares and using code.
17. it's about knowing the market and knowing market Is about knowing the human being's behaviors, and human being's behaviors cannot be fully explained or calculated by coding...only man can do this job.
18. As one of the guys says, if people would know, they would do something about it. Why people don't know? Media do not inform them about it. But lucky we are to know when celebrities fart. :D Love VPRO. Keep the good work going.
19. Why you dont leave free to community put subtitles? you can review before release the text
