There's an establishment in my quaint town known as Exchange Bar & Grill. It is "NYC's first and only fully automated real time drink market," as the website boasts. The prices of drinks and food will fluctuate throughout the night with supply/demand, much like those on the NYMEX. A scrolling ticker runs over the bar keeping its patrons posted on the latest quotes.
How would high frequency trading affect this fine establishment? Would it be as uproarious as, say, Goldman's inflammatory abuse of the digital loophole? My objective is to find out. A few friends all ordering three rounds of the same beer at once should be enough to produce a noticeable impact on the market at reasonable trading volumes. The experiment will come.
