If we agree (and I do) that trading should be throttled, what is a reasonable speed limit? Once per second? Per day? Is there a precedent?



Maybe we need much tighter rules around how the trades can be made.

I have no clue at this point what the model should be - but HFT is something that is completely undoable for a human, though it can have impact on humans at large scale and should be thought of more critically before they can be deployed into production.

I say impose a moratorium on all HFT until a determination of their value, impact, risk etc can be done and published and debated widely.
